Child Support in California
California Family Code § 3900 mandates the duty of every parent to support their minor children in a manner suitable to the child's circumstances. Furthermore, this section also lays down that this parental obligation is regardless of marital status, or whether the child is a biological or an adopted child.
This duty to support minor children extends until they attain majority, i.e. 18 years of age. In special circumstances like disability or disease, the court may extend this period beyond 18 years.
Child support in California is calculated by a statewide formula that factors in:
· Number of children
· The income of each parent
· Time spent by each parent with the child
· Whether the child has any special needs
· Other discretionary factors

Not all attorneys are the same. Not every attorney has the potential, knowledge, or experience to handle every type of case or manage any situation. Sometimes, you need to make a lot of effort to find the right lawyer for your case.
Choosing a lawyer is like choosing a doctor. Not every lawyer may be a great fit for you, no matter their track record and legal acumen. There could be unique issues in your case that the attorney hasn't handled before, or it may be down to unprofessionalism.
But what to do if you have signed an agreement with your attorney and then feel like it's not working out? When is it too late to fire your attorney? Let's take a look.
Reasons to Fire Your Attorney
· Lawyer not communicating
· Your lawyer is unprepared and disorganized
· Your lawyer lacks the experience to handle your case
· You disagree with your attorney's counsel
· Unethical behavior or misconduct
· Unreasonable billing
· Legal Malpractice
· Lack of professionalism
Generally speaking, you can fire your attorney at any time. However, if they have made substantial progress in your case, or your case has reached a settlement for some or all of the issues, firing your attorney may be detrimental to your interests. The progress they've made can be lost, or your new attorney may disagree with the prior strategy altogether.
You may have to notify the court for a change of attorney and clear any past dues of your previous attorney before hiring a new one.
