Our Attorney’s Help Clients Obtain Child Support Awards
The Court has authority to award child support to either spouse, depending on the circumstances. Two of the factors the Courts take into consideration when deciding a child support amount are, approximate percentage of time the parents have with the minor(s) and which parent is the higher level of income. The court uses a DissoMaster to calculate the amount of support and an Income and Expense Declaration is filed in order to assist the Court to create those calculations correctly. At our office, we are able to calculate those numbers on the DissoMaster and file them in anticipation of a hearing for the Court to review before the hearing to assist the Court with the child support award calculation.
