- Exposing yourself to monetary sanctions for being unable to act within the standards of reasonableness. Driving up the cost of the litigation without merit can be sanctionable by the court.
- The husband may also have to face a motion for attorney’s fees and costs related to the other spouse’s inability to pay their own legal fees.
Surrendering Your Rights as a Father on Issues of Child Custody
This is one of the most unfortunate mistakes that fathers tend to do in their Orange County divorce case.

The best interest of the child needs to be proven to the court by both parents. Fathers have the same custody rights as the other parent to start, subject to the court looking at the big picture involving the child and determining what custodial arrangement is in the best interests of the child under the circumstances of each case.

Modifications can be sought in the Orange County family law court. Courts are unlikely to burden anyone with more than they can bear and are often understanding of the situations, and in a wide variety of cases will order modifications in the support payments, depending on the circumstances of the case.
