Los Angeles County Child Support Establishment and Modification

Many parents feel frustrated when dealing with the county child support agency, where government lawyers represent the county rather than the individual parents. Operating as a dedicated child support lawyer, attorney Erb represents both obligor parents and custodial parents in court hearings before commissioners at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse and regional courts. Whether you need to establish paternity, modify support orders due to income changes or job loss, challenge inaccurate wage garnishments, or seek relief from license suspensions, the firm works diligently to obtain orders that are fair and mathematically accurate.

Interstate and International Child Support Enforcement

When a parent resides in another state or foreign country, enforcing or defending a support order involves intricate jurisdictional statutes, including the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA). Having directed the Los Angeles County interstate and international child support division for five years, attorney Erb provides exceptional knowledge in cross-border enforcement. The firm assists clients with registration of foreign orders, out-of-state income withholding orders, and complex jurisdictional defenses under international treaties.

Child Custody, Parenting Time, and Paternity Actions

Child support calculations depend heavily on custodial timeshare and parental responsibilities. Serving as a knowledgeable child custody lawyer, Patricia Erb assists parents in establishing workable parenting plans and legal custody agreements that protect the best interests of the child. The office also handles voluntary declarations of parentage, genetic testing motions, and post-judgment custody modifications when parental schedules evolve.

Family Law Mediation and Uncontested Divorce Assistance

Not every domestic matter requires contentious litigation. As a trained mediator, Patricia J. Erb helps couples resolve dissolution, property division, and parenting disputes outside the courtroom through structured mediation sessions. For couples seeking a cooperative resolution, mediation reduces administrative stress and legal costs while keeping major family decisions in the hands of the parents.
