Child Support & Spousal Support

Certified Family Law Specialist* Serving the Men and Women of Los Angeles County for More Than 30 Years

Spousal support (sometimes referred to as alimony by our clients) and child support both involve support obligations, but they are very different in terms of calculating support payments and tax consequences.

Child support is calculated utilizing the California Child Support Guidelines and spousal support is calculated by examining a long list of factors, including length of marriage, work or vocational history, education, any domestic violence and other factors.

Because spousal support does not utilize a standard formula, and in many cases is left to the discretion of the court, an effective advocate can make a big difference.

Located in Pasadena and representing clients throughout Los Angeles County in divorce and family law matters, the Law Offices of Lee W. Salisbury, APC has earned a reputation for effective advocacy, skilled representation and experienced advice.

Divorce attorney Lee Salisbury has been practicing family law for more than 30 years and has been certified as a family law specialist since 1984. No wonder other lawyers refer clients to Mr. Salisbury or turn to him when they have a divorce or family law matter.
