WE ADVOCATE FOR PARENTS AND CHILDREN

In a divorce, either parent may be ordered to pay child support. The precise amount is based on the earning capacity of each parent, the number of children, and the amount of time the children spend with each parent. Child support in most cases is paid until a child is 18. To request child support, you must ask for a court order compelling the other spouse to begin payments. We can help. Since 1992, our lawyers have advocated on behalf of parents and children so that necessary payments are ordered and orders are enforced.

Either parent may ask for a modified support order when a modification is justified by circumstances. Changed circumstances include changes in either parent’s income or changes in a child’s needs. Modification may also be considered when:

  • either parent has lost a job or been incarcerated
  • another child has been born to either parent
  • the amount of time spent with either parent has substantially changed
  • the child’s child care, educational, or medical needs have changed
  • any factor emerges that significantly impacts the child or the support order
