Lehigh Valley Child Support Attorney
Child support is an area of family law that is supposed to be straightforward, governed by state child support guidelines that take into account parents' incomes and the time that a child spends with each parent.
However, disputes arise in situations such as the following:
- A non-custodial parent petitions for more visitation time apparently in order to reduce child support a child support obligation.
- A child support modification is needed to take into account a change in income or circumstances of one or both parents
- A child requires extra financial support for braces, tutoring, therapy or other special needs
- One parent or both wants to build into a divorce or child custody order stipulations for future needs (such as college tuition) which fall outside the range that child support is designed to cover
