Ensuring that children receive the financial support they need is a fundamental aspect of family law; at the heart of child support is the well-being of your child. We focus on ensuring that children have access to the financial resources they need to thrive, from covering everyday expenses to providing for educational, medical, and extracurricular needs.
Child support is a legal obligation designed to ensure that children receive financial support from both parents. The Federal Child Support Guidelines provide a structured framework for determining payments based on:
Our team helps parents navigate these factors to ensure child support is calculated fairly and reflects the child’s needs.
Child support may vary depending on the parenting arrangement. Support obligations may be different where parenting is shared more equally between parents, compared to situations where one parent cares for the child or children for most of the time.
We help parents understand how these arrangements impact child support and ensure that financial contributions reflect the needs of the child or children, in accordance with the Federal Child Support Guidelines.
Life circumstances change, and child support arrangements may need to be adjusted over time. If a parent experiences a change in income, job loss, or new financial responsibilities, modifications may be necessary to ensure that child support obligations remain appropriate. Additionally, if a parent has failed to meet their historical obligations, legal assistance may be needed to seek retroactive child support. We provide guidance through these processes, helping clients navigate modifications or enforcement actions with clarity and confidence.
Whether you need to establish, modify, or enforce child support, we ensure that financial contributions are fair and aligned with legal guidelines.
Child support is about more than just numbers—it’s about securing your child’s future. Our team at ABA Family Lawyers is here to provide knowledgeable, compassionate support to help you navigate this process with confidence.
