Your Child Deserves Financial Support

Few things matter more to parents than the safety and well-being of their children.

To soften the blow of this extreme life change for both you and your children, it is essential that you retain an experienced attorney. You should seek a lawyer who is dedicated to helping you obtain the best outcome possible in a way that supports the best interests of your child.

How Do Courts Determine Child Support?

Child support is determined according to a set of state-mandated guidelines. But it is important to remember that these guidelines are just that. They are not rules or requirements. We are prepared to examine the needs of your child as they correspond to the financial ability of each parent.

There are many factors that play into determining child support, including:

  • Income of both parents
  • Any special needs of the child or children
  • Ages of the children
  • The custody agreement
