Determining the Amount of Support Payments

In most cases, a relatively straightforward formula is used to determine the amount of support payments. There are guidelines put into place with a number of factors used to calculate support, the main factor being the income of each parent. Of course, every situation is unique, and there are circumstances that may complicate a support determination. Kate can help you know what to expect and inform you of your options when it comes to support payments.

Child Support Modification

Support payments are not necessarily set in stone. If you have experienced a substantial change in your life's circumstances, such as a job loss, you may require a modification to your support plan. This can only be accomplished through the courts. You should never decide to change the amount of the payments on your own. It is important that you act quickly if you have experienced a change that affects your ability to pay support. Inability to pay does not affect your obligation to pay, so you must take steps to modify your obligation if you experience a dramatic change in circumstances.

Child Support Enforcement

Unfortunately, many support cases involve parents who refuse to make court-ordered payments. In these situations, Kate can help you pursue an enforcement action against your child's parent. The purpose of these types of actions is not to punish your ex, but rather to ensure that your child receives the financial help to which he or she is entitled.
