Child Support: Spousal Support

Modesto Child Support Attorney

Child Support Collections - Spousal Support - Alimony

Phone: 209.576.8404

Conveniently located in Modesto, the child support attorney at the Law Office of Robert L. Buchler represents men and women throughout the California Central Valley and San Joaquin Valley areas in issues regarding child support and spousal support (alimony).

Prior to your divorce, we can assist you with child support issues and spousal support issues. We will discuss your income, your spouse's income (or ability to earn income), and the needs of the child. We will discuss your options with you and be zealous advocates for your position.

California Spousal Support and Child Support Collections

In total, there is over $82 billion of unpaid spousal support and child support in the United States. This money was intended to benefit children and spouses who needed financial security after a marriage ended. However, instead of living up to their financial and moral obligations, deadbeat moms and dads avoided their obligation and built up substantial support arrears.

Each California County has a support services agency, such as the Stanislaus County Department of Child Support Services, dedicated to establishing and enforcing support orders. In some cases, past-due support amounts do not get paid.

Now, after many years of waiting for payments and eventually giving up hope of collection, our office can help you collect the money you are owed.

We can use the same debt collection techniques that creditors use to force debtors to pay their secured debts to collect child support and spousal support. It does not matter how long ago the payments were due; we can collect debts that are decades old through:

  • Seizure of Houses, Cars, and Boats
  • Property Liens
  • Wage Garnishment
  • Seizure of Retirement Funds

Contingency Based Attorney Fees

Our child support collections lawyer performs all past due debt collection on contingency; this means that you do not have to pay attorney fees unless we recover some or all or the arrears due to you.
