Our office stresses the important of providing personalized service when you need it most. The staff at the Law Office of Steven R. Cummings is straightforward and professional in calculating the amount of child support that you will be receiving or paying after custody of your children is determined.

Furthermore, there are often legal avenues available to you that the average person doesn't even know about until he hires and experienced child support attorney. For instance, recent changes in the laws of California have made it possible to contest paternity even after you've signed a paternity affidavit (sometimes called a 'Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity') and then later discovered that you are not the father of a child for which you are paying child support under the California child support guidelines.

Previously under child support law, signing a paternity acknowledgment meant that you only had a few weeks to revoke it before you were permanently determined to be the father of a child. Now, with the help of a knowledgeable lawyer like Steven Cummings, you can challenge the paternity of a child up to two years after you've been declared the father. This can mean that you don't have to continue paying support for a child that is not yours. We are also experienced in child support modifications and can tell you what you'd pay in child support if you're contemplating hiring an attorney to modify your divorce decree.
