Overcoming The Challenges Of Many Child Support Cases
Child support cases often face several challenges. Enforcement can be difficult when noncustodial parents fail to make timely payments, sometimes necessitating legal intervention. Post-decree modifications are another common issue, as changes in financial circumstances or parental responsibilities may require adjustments to the original support order. Additionally, interstate cases can complicate enforcement and modification due to varying state laws. Ensuring accurate income reporting and addressing disputes over the child’s needs also pose significant hurdles.
Not all firms have the personnel and resources needed to take on especially complex cases. Callahan | Barraco is different. Ours is the largest firm in the state focused on family law, and our team of committed attorneys is ready for whatever your case requires.
Guidance For Post-Judgment Modifications
Child support calculations are based on the income of both parents and the needs of their child. When parents share custody, the child support calculation can be more complex. Our child support attorneys can help you understand the calculations in shared custody situations and work to protect your rights and your child’s best interests. Disputes over a child support order are also common, which can lead to its modification. There are several reasons for a parent to be eligible for a child support modification, such as:
- Job loss
- Change in the paying parent’s income, employment status or financial situation
- Modification in custody or parenting time arrangements
In addition, modifying a child support order can also be due to a substantial change in the child’s financial requirements. This could be an increase in the medical needs or expenses of the child.
