Tenacious California Family Law Firm Fights for Fair Child Support
Assertive attorney advocates for the well-being of children in the California area
Raising a child is expensive, from paying for schooling and extracurricular activities to clothes, food, healthcare and other basic needs. Both parents have legal responsibilities to their child, and neither should be made to take on more than their fair share of the costs following a divorce. The attorney at Law Offices of Ralph T. Santoro, Jr. negotiates and enforces fair arrangements for the financial care of children. When our clients in La Mesa find themselves in a child support battle, we leave no stone unturned as we work to demonstrate each parent’s financial ability and the needs of their children. Our priority is to achieve a settlement or decision that keeps your child safe and secure.

Trusted mediator works for balanced child support arrangements
Children do best when their parents can be respectful of one another. Through the structured process of mediation, parents can often put aside their differences and focus on a topic on which they tend to agree — the importance of their child’s well-being. Mediation presents a forum for creating fair child support plans that allow both parents to share in the financial obligations of raising their children. Our skilled negotiator can guide the process toward equitable solutions that save time and money.
Resolute attorneys represent parents during disputes in court
Sometimes trial is necessary to obtain the financial support your child deserves. Our attorney meticulously prepares for litigation and is unrelenting in fighting for your child’s right to a financially stable upbringing. If your child’s other parent tries to evade crucial financial obligations, Law Offices of Ralph T. Santoro, Jr. can compel the enforcement of your child support order. However, judges understand that a lost job or serious injury can render a parent unable to pay child support. When your circumstances change, we can petition the court for a modification to the support order.
