Child Support
Child support cases are often complex, requiring representation from a knowledgeable lawyer. We have represented hundreds of clients in a wide variety of child support cases. Our firm can assist you with establishing a child support arrangement, modifying a preexisting child support order, and/or enforcing child support obligations.
Calculating Child Support
The amount of child support that the paying parent is required to provide is calculated with a statutory formula.
To arrive at a fair child support resolution, you need a lawyer who will go to great lengths to obtain the necessary documents that accurately establish net income. We have achieved countless successful case outcomes for clients, even when net income was difficult to prove.
What Are "Extraordinary Expenses"?
Parents will also need to share the burden of "extraordinary expenses," which include expenses for the child that go beyond basic needs. Extraordinary expenses are not the same as "child support," but rather refer to costs for education, extracurricular activities, travel, and other similar kinds of expenses.
Each parent's responsibility for paying extraordinary expenses is determined by his or her proportional share of the net income between both parents.
