Family Law Courts Served
Oakland has no family courthouse of its own. Oakland family cases go to the Superior Court of California, County of Alameda, which hears them in Hayward.
Hayward Hall of Justice
24405 Amador Street, Hayward, CA 94544. Alameda County family hearings take place here, so most Oakland residents travel south on Interstate 880 when their case is on calendar. The court’s notice tells you the department and time, and we prepare you for what will happen there.
When parents disagree about custody or parenting time, Family Code section 3170 generally requires the court to send the contested issues to mediation first. In Alameda County that step is Child Custody Recommending Counseling, and if the parents do not reach an agreement, the counselor can recommend a parenting plan to the judge. Preparing for that session deserves as much care as preparing for the hearing itself.
Family Code section 4055 sets the guideline formula for child support, and it applies whether the case is a private divorce or one the Alameda County Department of Child Support Services opens. Because the agency works for neither parent, a father who thinks its income figures are wrong should answer by the deadline on his papers and consider hiring his own lawyer.
