Parent Child Support

For both the custodial and the non-custodial parent, child support court can be frustrating. While most parents have their children's best interests at heart, there can be a disagreement as to how much money the non-custodial parent should pay, what the money should be used for and more. For this reason it's important for both custodial and non-custodial parents to speak with a qualified child support attorney. The attorney can explain child support laws to them, as well as their options and rights under the law. This will help both parties understand what is required of them and what is against the law in situations like this. Another option for custodial parents is to speak with the Office of Child Support Enforcement, which can be contacted through the local Department of Human Services. This will help custodial parents understand what to expect and what to do if they're having trouble collecting their court-ordered child support payments. The court will always have the best interests of the children at heart, but sometimes, this can make it difficult on parents. If a non-custodial parent is required to pay more than he or she is able to pay, they can file a request for modification with the court in order to have the case looked at again.

Fast Facts

  • A request for modification is when a parent wants the amount of the child support payments changed for one reason or another.
