Child Support With 50/50 Child Custody
Child support can be ordered, even in cases where the parents have a 50/50 custody arrangement. This is most likely to happen in cases where one parent earns quite a bit more than the other. The lower-earning parent will need child support to ensure the child maintains the same standard of living he or she had before the divorce.
Your San Jose child custody lawyer can look at your finances to determine if you’re eligible for child support. If so, your attorney can negotiate for custody and support at the same time. Additionally, your lawyer can take the case to family court if the other party does not agree to a custody and support schedule.
Child Preference
The court considers children’s preferences when creating custody orders. First, the child must be 14 or older to voice a preference in court. The child also must be deemed mature enough to provide a reasonable opinion regarding custody. While the judge will consider the opinion, it’s one of many factors used when deciding child custody. Our San Jose child custody lawyer takes a child-first approach, much like the court system. Thus, we will also consider your child’s desires while helping you reach an agreement.
Supervised Visitation
If the other parent poses a physical or emotional risk or has abused your child in the past, you are understandably worried about custody. Fortunately, your child can still see the other parent through supervised visitation. This will allow you to keep your child safe while he or she maintains a bond with the other parent. If you think that supervised visitation is right for your case, discuss your needs with our San Jose child custody lawyer. Keeping your child safe is a priority, so reach out to go over your legal options.
