Encinitas, California

Encinitas is a community located near the beach in northern San Diego County. Encinitas was incorporated in 1986 along with the parts of the community which include Cardiff-by-the-Sea, Leucadia, and Olivenhain. Ornamental flower growing is one of the largest industries in Encinitas, especially the growing of poinsettias. This industry is highlighted in the Annual Fall Festival which takes place in November in the downtown district of Encinitas. The Annual Oktoberfest is another festival that is held in the part of the community known as "new Encinitas."

Encinitas community members use the North County Regional Center in Vista. This facility is located on 325 South Melrose. The business office at this location is on the first floor. Most of the operations available at the main courthouse in downtown also function at this courthouse.

An Encinitas Family Law Firm can be of great help during a most difficult time in your life. It is very easy, no matter whether you are divorcing, legally separating or never married such as in a paternity case. One issue, which can be complex, are called the “mandatory add ons” for child support. These include 50% to each parent for payment of unreimbursed, uninsured dental, therapy, medical and orthodontic costs as well as day care for employment and/or education and this is pursuant to Family Law Code Section 4062.. These are mandatory and are a standard order. First, an order must be entered. After an order is entered, however, comes the issue of payments. Under San Diego law for Encinitas residents, payment must be made and then a receipt showing payment submitted within 30 days and then the reimbursement within 30 days and this is pursuant to Family Law Code Section 4063. While the mechanics of this may not be as complicated as, say, an international move away, it is crucial to keep all accountings and notices for reimbursement.
