Focused on Your Financial Outlook
When it comes to child and spousal support, there never seems to be enough money to go around. Financial matters can transform a peaceful divorce into a bitter war. At the Sacramento Law Office of Bunmi Awoniyi, we educate our clients on how support impacts their financial picture, now and in the future.
Financial support for a spouse or child is not meant to negatively impact lifestyles. That is where our advocacy and attention to detail come in to benefit you. Contact our Sacramento County firm at 916.925.9180.
Attention to All Details in Determining Child and Spousal Support
At the Law Office of Bunmi Awoniyi, our initial goal is to find out your financial expectations in receiving or paying support. From there, we conduct a detailed analysis by evaluating various financial records and tax returns. No one should be paying more than he or she reasonably can, nor should someone receive more than he or she is entitled to under the law.
Ensuring Accurate Information in Child Support
Child support is determined through strict calculations that consider time spent with the children, wages and salaries, and other approved deductions. The result is a computer-generated amount that is only as accurate as the information entered into the calculator. Hardships can result, particularly when there is a dispute in the income or expenses. Self-employed individuals might hide income or write off insurance costs.
Maintaining the Marital Standard of Living in Spousal Support
Temporary and long-term spousal support or alimony is based on a number of factors that include the length of the marriage and the need to maintain the marital standard of living. The issue of spousal support is fraught with anxiety for both parties as to their ability to pay or support themselves after the separation. Disputes can arise regarding the validity of the financial information provided, the ability of a spouse to seek and maintain employment, the inclusion or exclusion of bonus or overtime income and a whole host of other factors. That is where a seasoned family law attorney can greatly benefit you, whether you are the payor or the payee.
