Child Support

Child support is part of divorce and custody cases, but child support can also be set by the state’s child support recovery unit. Once child support has been set, either by the child support recovery unit or during a divorce or paternity case, child support can be modified. The child support recovery unit can review cases every two years to see if child support should be adjusted. If you have received notice from the child support recovery unit regarding a modification of child support, it is very helpful to discuss with an attorney. Julia can meet with you to determine if the amount is correct, and if not, what steps you can take to have it recalculated.

If you are paying or receiving child support, Julia can help you determine if the current amount is still correct. Child support is determined by state guidelines which take into account each party’s income, the cost of health insurance, parenting time, child tax deductions, other children you may have and various other factors.
