Downey family law questions we hear a lot

Can I get a restraining order to have my spouse removed from the home?

Yes. Under the Domestic Violence Prevention Act, a court can issue a move-out order and other protections on reasonable proof of a past act of abuse (Fam. Code sections 6300, 6320, 6321). We can walk you through whether the facts support it.

How is child support calculated in California?

California uses a statewide guideline formula that runs primarily on each parent's income and the amount of parenting time (Fam. Code section 4055). The number is not arbitrary, and we make sure it is calculated on accurate inputs.
