When a couple divorces, it is a tumultuous and emotional time in their lives. When the couple has children, the divorce process becomes much more difficult, more emotionally charged, and more difficult to resolve. Child support attorneys represent the best interest of children involved in these types of litigation.
Child support attorneys are necessary in any divorce involving children. Even when the man and woman who dissolve the marriage are in complete agreement about most other things when it comes to matters related to children, the couple can start to fight. Money matters and how to raise children are two of the main reasons people get divorced. It is logical to think that problems related to children will be volatile when the couple separates.
Child support attorneys are experienced in judging the amount of financial support the custodial parent will need to receive from the non-custodial parent in order to continue raising children in the lifestyle to which they have become accustomed. Child support attorneys will investigate the non-custodial parent’s financial assets to determine how much financial support they can provide. Then, in court, the child support attorneys ask the judge to create a court order that tells the non-custodial parent how much they will have to contribute monthly towards the financial support of the children.
Child support attorneys also help establish visiting hours so that each parent has time to spend with their children. These legal representatives want both parents to be involved in the children’s lives. They will work diligently to establish visiting hours that will work with each parent’s work schedules and the child’s schedule. Parents should consider the child and their wishes when setting parental visiting hours. One parent may be angry with the other, but the child still loves both of his parents and wants to see both of his parents.
If a parent fails to meet their obligations to pay child support, the other parent may have to hire legal counsel to help force the other parent to pay. When parents don’t pay, they are violating a court order and there are many ways they can be reprimanded for these types of violations. The custodial parent cannot stop allowing visitation due to a parent’s non-payment, but may hire an attorney and the parent could be fined, jailed, or wages garnished. These matters require the help of child support attorneys who are experienced in dealing with the issues involved.
People dealing with these emotional problems often appear to be distant or “hard-hearted.” The truth is, legal professionals dealing with child custody, marriage dissolution, child support, and family law matters should stay out of the picture. Procedures are emotionally charged and legal representatives must maintain composure so that they can handle matters fairly.
