A Child Support Calculator determines the amount of support, but the result may be modified if the Court determines the formula would be unjust or inappropriate due to income levels, special needs of the children or time-sharing arrangements.Having an experienced attorney on your side is the best way to ensure your child or spousal support agreement fits your family's financial situation.

Sherine and her staff are the definition of integrity. They are in the business of family law for the RIGHT reasons. I came to Sherine in dire need of help in my child custody case that was an absolute mess. I've worked with Sherine's office now for a year in my 5 year child custody case that is ongoing and I couldn't be happier that I made the decision to bring Sherine into the picture. Even though we are still working through the case, I feel so much better knowing that I have a true advocate on my side that believes in what is right and will stand up for her clients. Sherine is beyond professional

Sherine Pahlavan is an outstanding attorney! Her law office staff were always helpful, friendly, transparent with where my money was being spent. They actively worked my case until it was resolved. Sherine helped me get increased shared custody time with my children. The entire experience was hassle free. Once we finished up with my custody battle, Sherine even refunded what remained of my $5000 retainer fee ($600!).
This may seem insignificant to some that lack experience dealing with attorneys, but I can assure you it is not. Sherine provided me with what I paid her for, she did not scam me

I called Sherine's office completely out of hope and at a loss for what step to take next. I was immediately comforted by her wonderful and compassionate office staff who have been always been extremely helpful and supportive. Sherine passionately cares about her clients and uses her extensive legal experience to do everything she can to put you at ease. Despite every curveball that was thrown in my Child Custody/ DV case, Sherine and her staff have always been persistent, knowledgable and handled my case with a sense of urgency. I am forever grateful for the help, support and feeling a safety

I can't begin to think of the right words to say about Sherine , she is not only an amazing lawyer, but she is also a lifesaver. My children were taken away from me by their father, not knowing what to do, I decided to make a GoFundMe campaign in the hopes that people would donate to help me get to where my children are, and to hire a lawyer. Sherine messaged me on Facebook that same night, and after some questions she took my case. She even found a lawyer for my children. Before I had even arrived the next day she had already gotten us a court hearing, AND served my ex husband with the notice

Sherine is an amazing attorney. She knows the law, and she is extremely familiar with Solano and yolo county, which is where my case was. I hired Sherine for a custody battle with my Ex, I started the case on my own, when I needed help, I spoke with several attorneys, I hired Sherine because I felt that she was the best fit for my situation. I hired her in the middle of a wintry storm. She took the case on in full stride, each and every play was timed perfectly.
Sherine is extremely ethical, honest,and hard working. Sherine remains, cool,calm, collective, and knows when to be aggressive. She stands

Sherine was honestly the best thing that could've happened to us, this was all such new territory for me & I felt so lost and overwhelmed. She helped guide me through it, provided support when I needed a confidence boost, and has been so wonderful to my entire family! I really don't know what we would've done without her! Would recommend her 100% to anyone who needs a lawyer, she goes above and beyond for her clients.

Sherine is an amazing and outstanding family law attorney. We have had her represent us over the last 2+ years and she has been amazing. When we thought things were bad, they weren't and she was able to accomplish what we couldn't image could be. Definitely one of the best if not the best family law attorneys in the Sacramento Area.

Sherine is a lawyer with integrity, has a thorough knowledge of family law and truly understands the caveats of the legal system in Yolo County. Sherine is able to remain calm, apply her skills and obtain a fair outcome without the use of bullying or intimidation against the other party. Time with her is well spent and one does not walk away with the feeling that she is using the clock to her advantage. All conversations were meaningful and to the point. Sherine works hard on behalf of her clients. She has a very realistic and thoughtful approach re: what to expect while in court in Yolo County
