It’s about their best interest
When you separate or divorce, you must arrange for the care of your children. This includes where they will live and how important decisions about them will be made.
Both parents have a responsibility to financially support themselves and their children. If you do not have custody, the amount of child support you must pay is based on your income and the number of children you must support. The amount a payor spouse pays in child support is determined by the federal government and set out in the Child Support Table. Spouses may have other obligations such as special expenses that are not included in the day-to-day care of children.
We also assist parents who are dealing with a conflictual spouse and take steps to restrain abusive spouses.
