Child Support
Many individuals make the mistake of assuming that child support issues are simple and that a lawyer is not necessary. This is simply not true. Each case is unique and needs to be examined closely to determine what the appropriate child support amount should be as each extra dollar paid over the years quickly adds up. Many parents are paying significantly more than they need to and many custodial parents are receiving less than they should be as a result of ineffective attorneys who are not skilled and educated in child support matters. Additionally, many attorneys fail to use all available methods for collecting past due child support.
