Why Should You Hire David Lederman?

Serving clients throughout the greater San Francisco Bay Area, an experienced child support lawyer at our firm can assist you in determining the appropriate amount of support, whether you are the payor or the recipient. Child support orders are designed to prevent one parent from bearing the entire financial burden of raising children. These payments offer essential financial support to the parent with primary custody, helping to cover necessary expenses such as housing, food, and utilities.

During a divorce, a two-income household transitions into two separate single-income households. Even if one parent was not employed outside the home, they played a crucial role in childcare. The custodial parent will likely incur additional childcare costs while working, adding financial strain during a period of reduced income.
