Massachusetts Child Support Lawyer
Making sure that your children are financially cared for and have the quality of life they enjoyed prior to divorce is important. Whether you have traditionally been the primary wage-earner in your family or not, the determination of child support should accurately reflect your financial situation and your children’s financial need.
Yet financial situations can change, particularly in the current economic unrest in the United States. Under certain circumstances it may become necessary to modify the existing support order. For legal assistance with child support and modifications to existing support in the Worcester County area, contact the Law Office of Polly A. Tatum.
Child Support
Child support is determined by income-based guidelines. Our firm helps you take account of your earnings and your partner’s earnings and works to create an accurate financial picture of both parties. This, along with determinations made in regard to debt and property division as well as custodial arrangements will help in arriving at an accurate support amount.
Modifications
In this country’s current uncertain economic situation, a person’s financial situation can change drastically. A job loss, home foreclosure and other factors may influence one’s ability to make timely child and spousal support payments. If material or substantial changes do occur that require revisiting support or custodial arrangements, our attorney can help you in the process of modifying existing orders.
Settling divorce and family law matters does not have to be an adversarial or expensive process. If you have a family law matter related to child support or modification that needs resolution, contact the Law Office of Polly A. Tatum, home of Mediation Advantage Services.
