Basis for a Motion to Set-Aside in California

If a court failed to notify you of your child support obligation, you can petition the court to set aside any judgments against you. The basis for the law is that you should not be punished if you were not aware of your obligation to pay for child support.

You should also not experience the consequences of a child support arrear, such as wage garnishment or driver's license suspension, levying accounts, if you were not properly served with notice.

There are limitations for filing a motion for the set-aside of a judgment because of improper service. Timeliness is extremely important because generally, after six months of reasonably finding out about the child support order against you, the set-aside motion is at the discretion of the judge. If you believe that you were not properly notified of your child support obligation or a child support judgment against you, you need Los Angeles lawyer Elena Mebtahi on your side.

We are dedicated to helping out of state fathers resolve California child support problems. In many cases, we can get favorable results for you without you having to travel or appear in a Los Angeles area court.
