Child Support Modification — Careful Analysis of the Law and Your Circumstances
If the courts determine that a child support modification is applicable to your situation, they will apply the Child Support Standards Act formula on all combined parental income up to at least $143,000. If your combined income exceeds this amount, the court may use its discretion to determine the appropriate amount of support.
If you and your child’s other parent prefer to come up with an agreement outside of the court, you do not have to apply state guidelines. The attorneys at The Mandel Law Firm can simply draft the necessary documents to accomplish this for you. In any event, it is always in your best interests to consult an attorney so you will know exactly what your potential rights and responsibilities are when you “negotiate” the terms of your agreement. This is a classic example of knowledge being power. You also want to be certain the agreement you establish will stand up in court, if court intervention should become necessary.
Enforcement of Child Support — Collecting the Right Amount
If you are owed child support from your child’s other parent, you can petition the court to take enforcement action. As your legal representatives, we will help you effectively present your case in an effort to make sure you actually receive the financial support to which your child is entitled.
