Determining the Appropriate Child Support Level

During the divorce process, the court issues a temporary child support order followed by a final child support stipulation. All too often, the temporary order forms the basis for the final one. If the level is not set correctly at the start of the divorce process, you may end up paying too much or receiving too little child support.

Mahoney Law Office has extensive experience in child support and divorce matters. During the divorce process, we will work to ensure that your rights are protected and that the child support payment is set at the proper legal level.

The Child Support Level Can Change Over Time

Nothing stays the same forever, and that includes child support. Over time, the incomes of the parents can change due to layoff, a promotion or a disability. The living arrangements for the child can change as well. When significant events such as these happen, a parent can seek a modification in the child support level.

If you think you are not receiving enough child support or if you think you are paying too much, Mahoney Law Office can review your situation. We can seek a modification in the child support level in accordance with the terms of the law. Modifications are usually routine, and we can accomplish those quickly and for a reasonable fee.
