Child Custody/Child Support
In determining parenting time and financial support, your child's best interest comes first. Providing them as much continuity following a divorce is vital for their mental health. Some factors the Judge will consider are:
- Moral fitness of the parents
- Evidence of domestic violence
- Substance abuse
- Division of parental responsibility
- Review the financial records of the parents
- The preference of the child
Strict guidelines govern child support, including income, health care expenses, percentage of overnight stays and other factors go into a calculator. Our job is to ensure that children are receiving the support they are entitled by law.
Following a divorce, substantial changes in circumstances can occur that were not considered at the time of the original decree. Regardless of the extent of a job change, income reduction or increase or relocation, the best interests of the child come first.
In addition to the above areas of practice, we also represent clients involved in adoptions, QDRO'S, guardianships, paternity actions and orders of protection involving domestic violence.
