US Child Support Attorney Directory

A child support attorney is a legal professional who is a family law expert. These types of attorneys represent their clients and assist them with a number of activities including: Filing the correct paperwork, establishing legal paternity of a child, determining the payment amounts, making changes to current payments, collecting any outstanding payments, enforcing a support order, and more. They advocate for the well-being of the child or ward of their client. There are times that child support cases are filed in court after marital separation which often results in family law court battles for child custody. As it is the obligation of the parents to support their children even after the dissolution of their marriage, parents who are commonly not in custody of their children are required to pay child support. The amount of child support is determined based upon the finances of both parents. An attorney who specializes in child support can help make certain your child is provided for and that payments arrive on time and for the correct amount.
