Bay Area Divorce Attorney
Bailey Penzotti
A divorce, child custody case or other family law case does not always have to be a traumatic, combative experience. Even when the issues are complex, your future is at stake and emotions are running high, I will work hard to protect your legal rights while avoiding unnecessary conflict and stress.
As a skilled Bay Area Divorce Attorney, my goal is to resolve matters quickly, to save you the trauma of litigation, but I will vigorously defend your rights in court when needed. I have provided effective legal counsel to hundreds of clients in San Francisco, Oakland, surrounding communities and throughout California.
Call my office immediately if you need the assistance of an experienced Bay Area Divorce Attorney with any of the following family law issues:
Child support covers everything a child needs, and even more, during the growth and formative years. A parent's first and principal obligation is to support his or her minor children according to the parent's circumstances and station in life, and children should share in the standard of living of both parents.
The amount of a child support award is more than a question of bare necessities. If the child has a wealthy parent, that child is entitled to, and therefore needs something more than the bare necessities of life. Where the supporting parent enjoys a lifestyle that far exceeds the custodial parent's living standard, child support must, to some degree, reflect that more opulent lifestyle. This is so even though, as a practical matter, the child support payments may incidentally benefit others in the custodial household whom the payor parent has no obligation to support (e.g., custodial parent owed no spousal support, adult children, or children from custodial parent's other relationships). Children are entitled to share in the non-custodial parent’s elevated standard of living despite custodial parent's lower income.
