Child support is part of a divorce, marital separation, dissolution of marriage, annulment, determination of parentage or dissolution of a civil union and may supplement alimony arrangements. Child support is the ongoing, periodic payment made by a parent for the financial support of a child. The family lawyers of The Hamilton Law Firm, with their many years of real world experience working with child support issues can help you seek and receive a very fair child support settlement.
Child support is irrespective of sex, so a mother can be required to pay support to a custodial father just as a father may be required to pay a custodial mother. In the case where there is joint custody, the child has two custodial parents. A custodial parent with a higher income may be required to pay the other custodial parent. This is where the expert legal counselor of The Hamilton Law Firm can make a real difference.
