One Size Does Not Fit All

When the attorneys work on any aspect of your divorce, they take into account your needs and goals and those of your children, and apply the law to fit your unique situation, not the other way around. The attorneys always look for the solution that is best for you and your children.

You and your spouse may choose to retain joint legal custody, which gives you both the ability to make decisions for your children and requires that you discuss major changes in their lives.

Understanding The Child Support Collection Process

If your spouse is failing to pay his or her monthly child support payments, the lawyers at [nap_names id=”FIRM-NAME-1″], can assist you with child support enforcement by petitioning the court for an enforcement of court orders, which may result in your spouse being held in contempt of court and enable garnishment of his or her wages or assets to ensure payment.

If you are on the receiving end of a child support enforcement petition, the attorneys will defend your position and help you apply for a modification of court orders to alter your monthly payments if your circumstances have changed.
