The source of many heated arguments between divorced parents is the subject of child support. Often, parents are not receiving child support payments at all, or believe that the amount they are receiving is not enough to effectively support their children. The paying parent on the other hand, often believes that they are paying too much or are simply unable to make the necessary payments.

Since the amount of support awarded is set by law, the statutory child support guidelines provide a formula for calculating the amount. As such, the numbers used in the formula must be accurate for the calculated amount of child support to be correct. We understand the concerns clients have regarding child support, and to ensure that the proper amounts are being paid, we can review any financial disclosures and determine if child support may need to be re-calculated.

Some of the factors affecting child support payments are health insurance premiums, day care, education, extracurricular activities, and other necessary expenses. Attorney Maureen Gour can explain to you how these costs will affect the amount of child support that you receive or pay.

Enforcement and modification can take place any time after a child support order is issued. Enforcement is a legal process to ensure child support payments are being paid to the recipient parent, or that if such payments are in fact being made, that they are timely and in the proper amount.

Modification, on the other hand, is the process used to make a change in the amount of child support payments. For example, if the circumstances of either party have substantially changed in terms of employment or income, a petition for modification may be appropriate.
