VIDEO – You Think You Know The California Regulatory Process

Category

2 hours MCLE credit Viewing Time: 111 minutes Misinformation about rulemaking has many dangers. Suppose rulemaking were a jungle, then misinformation is the tangled vines that grow wild throughout that jungle. It covers everything and hides the fundamental purpose of the rulemaking process. Our speaker, Kent Gray will uncover the California Regulatory Process with its potential for common errors that can result in doing a lot of unnecessary work, which uses up already limited resources (the people and time needed for rulemaking), and underground regulations from a misunderstanding of what needs to be included and what it means to your department to “incorporate by reference” materials i.e. manuals, forms, etc. In this video we will look at some of the common areas of misinformation and will also answer questions about what is and isn’t required. The challenge of rulemaking is in the many steps; whereupon misinformation slips can result from doubt, innuendo, and “that’s how we’ve always done it.” Be ready to take notes and ask questions as we trek through this jungle and work to cut back the “vines.” Please note each video is designed for continuous viewing until its conclusion.

A Recipe For Child Support And Spousal Support In California

Category

1.5 hours MCLE credit Viewing Time: 109 minutes This video will explore the ways in which a court will determine income available for the payment of both child and spousal support. We will walk you through the salient factors of determining the payor’s true income, including review of tax returns, profit and loss statements, W2s, loan applications, and each party’s monthly expenses. What you see is not always reality when reviewing the payor’s (or the payee’s for that matter) reported income. We will delve into child support with a keen eye on how the court arrives at a guideline child support calculation. We will discuss the ramifications of agreeing to a non-guideline child support order. And we will discuss seek work orders, extraordinary work regimens, and special considerations for handling child support when a child has special needs or a disability—including adult-aged children who cannot support themselves. Finally, we will end with spousal support and the difference between spousal support ordered before a judgment of dissolution of marriage is granted and spousal support that is ordered post-judgment. We will explain what the Family Code 4320 factors entail and how to present your case for trial with the factors in mind.
