We Hold Parents Accountable
Billions of dollars of child support remain unpaid in the United States. However, instead of living up to their financial and moral obligations, many parents avoid making their required payments.

At the Law Office of Robert L. Buchler, we are familiar with the policies of many of California's county child support services agencies, which were established to manage and enforce support orders in their respective counties. However, in some cases past-due support remains unpaid. This is where we come in.

It doesn't matter how long ago the payments were due; we can use a variety of methods to collect unpaid support:

Wage garnishment
Property liens
Seizure of houses, cars and boats
Seizure of retirement funds

When you want to be proactive and pursue what you and your child need, a knowledgeable lawyer with extensive experience going after unpaid child support can give you important guidance.

Modesto Marital Asset Division Attorney
Conveniently located in Modesto, the marital asset division attorney at the Law Office of Robert L. Buchler represents men and women throughout the California Central Valley and San Joaquin Valley areas in property disputes and assists with valuation issues concerning marital assets.

Experienced Modesto Marital Asset Division Attorney
As an experienced Modesto marital asset division attorney, Mr. Buchler knows that the division of marital property can raise numerous issues, including the following:

Classification Issues - including issues surrounding whether the property is classified as hers, his, or marital. Often times these issues are clouded where there is a commingling of property, such as when one spouse sells a house and puts the money in a joint account containing money from the marriage.

Valuation Issues - including the valuation of pension plans, stock options, professional businesses, closed corporations, collectibles, and other assets.

Hidden Asset Issues - that may come up during the divorce or subsequent to the divorce.

A Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) allows a person to receive a portion of their spouse's pension plan or 401K without incurring additional tax penalties because of the transfer. As such, a QDRO can be useful device for protecting your spouse's financial security if something happens to you.

A QDRO can be issued through voluntary choice or as the result of a divorce or marital dissolution. A QDRO can be used on nearly any type of retirement plan, even those protected by ERISA (Employment Retirement Income Security Act). A QDRO can be also be used to collect child support and spousal support.

A Court Order Acceptable for Processing (COAP) is prepared specially for the purpose of dividing government retirement plans. Government retirement benefits are not subject to ERISA and cannot be joined as an employee benefit plan by State Courts.

If you have already been divorced, or you are facing the possibility of divorce, it is important to have an attorney modify your QDRO as soon as possible in order to prevent complex issues of arrearages from arising in the future. Our office also can protect your assets if you are disputing whether a QDRO can be used by your former spouse to receive part of your hard-earned retirement plan.
