The Goal of Child Support
Child support is not designed to bankrupt the non-custodial parent. It is designed so that children can continue to enjoy life at the same level, with all costs shared by both parents. There are child support guidelines in place that dictate how child support will be calculated. In most cases, an attorney simply needs to follow these guidelines.
Deviation From Child Support Guidelines
In some cases, particularly those in which one or both of the parents have incomes that exceed the numbers on the guidelines, there may be some deviation required. Factors like unique medical needs may also require deviation from the guidelines. Having an experienced attorney on your side becomes particularly important in cases with unique aspects. We know how to overcome all challenges in order to see that child support is calculated fairly.
