Child support issues can occur both during and after a divorce. Child support is also an issue in paternity actions involving unmarried parents.
My financial background as a certified public account (CPA) helps me deal with helps me deal with such issues as unreported income when negotiating child support payments. I dig deeper behind the numbers provided by the other party to see what the truth is so that fair and reasonable child support is provided to the dependent children.
For parents who are not receiving child support, I can:
- Collect child support by garnishing, income deduction orders, and other methods to ensure child support comes directly out of the other party?s paycheck.
- Initiate money judgments for past-due child support, including seeking levies against assets and liens on houses or pension plan benefits
- Create an orderly system of keeping people current on child support to provide a regular cash flow to meet the needs of the children.
I can also help clients seek modifications to child support payments (revising the amount upward or downward) when there is a change in the child support payer?s financial circumstances.
