EXPERTISE IN FAIR CHILD SUPPORT

Our child support attorneys are experienced at advocating for a fair level of child support. We will help you understand the statutory formula used to set the level of child support and inform you of the documentation you will need to obtain.

HOW DOES CALCULATING CHILD SUPPORT WORK?

Calculating child support is largely determined by the net incomes of the parties. Determining what is “income” and how to calculate income — especially in the case of a self-employed or unemployed individual — can be challenging.

In addition, if your child has special needs or “extraordinary expenses” like special sports programs, music, travel costs, need for child care, etc., you may be entitled to receive child support beyond the basic obligation.

 

CHALLENGES IN DETERMINING FAIR CHILD SUPPORT

Our child support lawyers know how to effectively calculate child support so that you get a fair result — even in challenging circumstances.

We handle cases where:

  • Incomes are hidden
  • Financial matters are complicated
  • Or where extraordinary expenses are involved

Schedule your consultation so that we can discuss your particular situation. Calculating fair child support is important to your children and to you. Let a skilled child support attorney at our office help you get a child support rate that makes sure parental obligations are met without putting you or the other party at an undue disadvantage.
