Custody and Support Issues in a Divorce
Working parents in Escondido often face the challenge of balancing employment, commuting, and family responsibilities during divorce. Coordinating custody schedules around school, extracurricular activities, and work hours can be complex, and giving children consistent support is a priority.
We guide parents in creating parenting plans that comply with California’s best-interest standards while accommodating the realities of busy family life. Child support calculations are approached carefully to maintain fairness, with financial responsibilities that are clearly defined and sustainable for both parents.
Property division and spousal maintenance are also in need of careful attention. Spouses may hold residential properties, business interests, or other assets that must be equitably divided. Our attorneys develop strategies that protect our clients’ financial futures while facilitating resolutions that aim to minimize conflict and maintain family stability.
The lawyers at Andrew J. Botros, APC are skilled at managing all facets of the divorce process. We combine legal precision with real-world insight, helping spouses protect what matters most while minimizing disruption to their routines and relationships.
