Navigating Child Support:
How Murfreesboro Attorneys Ensure Fair Payments
Child Support cases can become stressful for parents due to many different factors, a lack of understanding of the payment calculation process being among them. Murfreesboro family law’s attorneys will work hard to explain the nuances and factors that can affect child support payments. Our attorneys will make sure that your payment is fair, and that non-custodial parents are not paying an unfair amount.
The main factors in determining child support are:
- The gross income of you and your spouse
- Healthcare costs of your children
- The costs of daycare for the children
- The number of days the children will spend with each parent every week
- Other children supported by either parent
While ensuring an acceptable child support amount gets reached is important, the duration of that child support payment is just as important to your ability to provide for your children.
In most situations Tennessee requires payments until the child reaches the age of 18 or until they graduate high school. There are situations in which support can be required to last longer. If the child has mental illness or special needs, they may require court ordered child support past the age of 18.
The Compassionate Approach of Murfreesboro Family Law
We will firmly advocate for your children to make sure they will get the financial support they require.
We can:
- Work with courts as well as Tennessee child support guidelines to ensure the appropriate support amount.
- Handle cases including failure to pay child support as well as defend child support petitions filed by another party and use legal tools to enforce child support orders.
- Advocate for you and your child by presenting your child’s history involving special medical circumstances, special needs, your income, childcare expenses, and child custody arrangements.
