Child support establishes a parent’s financial responsibility for a child and is typically calculated using statutory guidelines and the paying parent’s net resources. Support orders may also address related topics such as health insurance coverage, reimbursement of uninsured medical expenses, and enforcement mechanisms.
When should you hire a child support counsel?
One should hire child support counsel when you are not getting any support for the child, the other parent’s income is unclear, variable, or self-employment-based, when you believe resources are being hidden, when arrears are growing, or when enforcement action is needed. Asking for legal help is also recommended when you are being asked to agree to an amount that does not match the statutory framework or the evidence.
