Your Rights in Child Support Proceedings
Determining the proper allocation of child support is not simple. Custody arrangements, the net income of the parties, health care expenses, day care expenses, insurance costs and other items should be properly accounted for to make sure the outcome is fair. If you have questions regarding how to calculate the correct amount of support, you need an experienced Milton child support attorney to assist you.
The child custody determination has a large impact on the amount of support each parent will contribute. Parents who have custody for at least 40 percent of the overnights are generally responsible for greatly reduced child support payments. I can help you understand every aspect of your family law case to make sure you are making the best possible choices for your family.
Milton, Pace and Navarre Child Support Modification Attorney
When a parent has a drop in income, he or she will often fall behind on child support payments. In these situations, it is important to seek a modification as soon as possible, as the court will hold you accountable for the original arrangement. You may qualify for a modification, but you must go through the process to protect yourself. The Department of Revenue can suspend your driver's license, garnish your wages, take support payments out of your unemployment benefits, or even place a hold on and remove money from your bank account.
I can help you craft a custody and support arrangement that protects your rights and promotes the welfare of your children. Contact my office by e-mail, call 850-665-3008 or toll free at 888-508-7953 to schedule a consultation.
