Simple and Complex Child Support Cases
The amount of child support awarded is determined by guidelines set by state statute, and is based on the gross incomes of the parents, the parenting time arrangement and other factors. In most cases where both parents are employed by a company or business, determining the support level is relatively simple. When one parent is self-employed or attempts to hide income, the task can become more difficult.
Our firm has extensive experience in all types of child support matters. We can resolve straight-forward child support matters efficiently and cost-effectively. We also have experience in complex child support cases and work with forensic accountants and vocational specialists when necessary to reveal the true ability of a parent to earn income for the purpose of calculating the required support level.
Michele D. McCaslin will closely examine all aspects of your case, to identify income, expenses and other factors that can affect the child support calculation. If you are entitled to receive child support, our firm will work to obtain all the support you are entitled to. If you are obligated to pay child support, we will work to obtain a child support order which is fair and in accordance with state law.
