Experience and Dedication
We know the financial responsibilities that accompany child custody, from health care to child care, and our priority is pursuing the best possible results for you.
Child support will be awarded based on your income, the other parent's income and the amount of time each of you spends with your child. The court may also consider the other parent's earning capacity if he or she has made a lifestyle choice that reduced income or if he or she is not working despite ability. If your child has special needs, that will be another factor in the court's determination.
Whatever the circumstances of your case, we will focus on easing your financial situation and seeking a better life for your children. If your spouse is not complying with an existing agreement, we will work with the Department of Child Support Services to enforce the agreement.
