SPECIAL EDUCATION

Posted by craig in Uncategorized | 4 Comments »

As a former special education teacher, I have always felt that special education and related services MUST be provided to all children with disabilities so that they receive the necessary skills to eventually learn how to be independent.  I also believe that EVERY child is capable of benefiting from an education if given the proper services.  Far too often schools fail in providing special education services resulting in special needs children not receiving an appropriate education.

When developing the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Congress recognized the need to place at all stages of the education process, procedural protections to ensure substantive procedures can be carried out.  It is important to remember that the major principle of the IDEA is to provide education to ALL children who meet the age eligibility requirement.  Moreover, this education will be one that is free, individualized and appropriate to the child’s needs and in an appropriate setting.

The attorneys at Liu & Naime understand that there are times when parents disagree with the school district’s assessment of their child.  That sometimes the potential a parent sees in their child isn’t shared by the school district.  That sometimes the parent knows how to expose this potential through innovative and personal techniques the school district doens’t recognize and won’t try.  We understand and will always be on your side. We have the experience and compassion to advocate for your child’s needs.  Let us help you help your child.

CHILD SUPPORT AND SPOUSAL SUPPORT

Posted by omar in Uncategorized | 0 Comments »

There are many factors and issues that come up with regard to child support and spousal support. Some of the issues that arise with regards to child support are: each parties’ income compared to their earning ability, timeshare with the children, the age of the children, daycare, extracurricular activities, tax exemptions and medical costs. You also have to know what to do when someone does not pay child support or does not pay the right amount. How do you garnish wages or file a contempt case or open a case with the department of child support services or levy a bank account? Often times you need to request that a forensic accountant evaluate a business to determine cash flow. Our attorneys have the experience to help you with all of these issues.

Some of the issues that arise with regards to spousal support are: each parties’ earnings compared to their earning ability, the length of the marriage, the standard of living during the marriage, the health of the parties, whether there was any domestic violence and whether either party has been out of the workforce because they were taking care of children. Similarly to child support, you also need to know what to do when someone does not pay spousal support or does not pay the right amount. You need to know how to garnish wages, how to file a contempt case and how to levy a bank account. Often times you need to request that a forensic accountant evaluate a business to determine cash flow.

The proper advice and strategy can affect the outcome of your case. Our attorneys have extensive experience handling spousal support and child support matters throughout Southern California.

DIVORCE INVOLVING CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS

Posted by omar in Uncategorized | 0 Comments »

The Law Offices of Liu & Naime is one of the few family law firms that have experience in dealing with children with special needs. Our attorneys frequently represent children with special needs in obtaining a free appropriate public education under the law.

If you are going through a divorce and you have a child or children with special needs, you need an attorney that understands this delicate and important aspect of your case.
