FAQs

Got a question? We’re here to help.

  • How is child support calculated?

    Child support amounts are typically calculated based on a formula that takes into account both parents' incomes, the number of children, and their spending time with each parent. However, specific factors can vary by state. It's essential to get personalized advice that considers all the variables in your situation.

  • Can child support agreements be modified?

    Yes, child support agreements can be modified if there's a significant change in circumstances, such as a change in income, living situations, or the needs of the children. A lawyer can help you understand if your situation qualifies for a modification and guide you through the process.

  • What if the other parent is not paying child support?

    If the other parent is not fulfilling their child support obligations, several enforcement actions can be taken, from wage garnishment to revoking licenses. It's critical to consult with a lawyer to explore the most effective strategy for your individual case.
