Child Support
Both parents in a marriage have equal parental rights over their children. These rights do not end when a couple decides to divorce, except in extreme cases. Each parent has a right to spend time with his or her children after divorce whether he or she is deemed the custodial or non-custodial parent. However, with these parental rights come important responsibilities that both parents are legally obligated to fulfill. The law dictates that after a divorce, both parents still have an equal duty to provide for their children to pay for the housing, food, clothing, and education that they need.
Child Support Issues
In many cases, both parents understand the importance of child support and are willing to work together to provide for their children. Sometimes, however, one parent may try to shirk parental responsibility by avoiding or refusing to pay child support. In complex cases, child support arrangements may have to be determined by the courts and a parent may be subject to penalty if he or she does not comply with the legal ruling.
At Hull & Zimmerman, P.C., our attorneys have experience litigating child support cases involving the following issues:
- Establishing child support upon divorce
- Modifying a child support arrangement
- Enforcing the payment of child support
Except in extreme circumstances, both parents share responsibility for their children’s well-being after divorce, which includes financial support. If you are a parent entering into a divorce, we are prepared to assist you with your case so that your children receive the combined support that they need.
