Child Support
Brockton, Massachusetts Child Support Lawyer
To ensure that you are paying or receiving the proper amount of child support, turn to experienced child support lawyer Andrew H.P. Norton. I strive to help my clients understand their rights and obligations regarding child support.
The amount of child support to be paid is based upon a mathematical formula set out in Massachusetts law. A precise computation of child support requires that the correct numbers be calculated in the formula. My firm can help you gather all of the information that is pertinent to this equation to ensure that the resulting amount of child support is accurate. Some of the factors in the equation include:
- Non-custodial parent's gross income
- Number of children
- Age of oldest child
- Child care costs
- The child's medical insurance expenses
If you are named on the birth certificate and have reason to believe you are not the father, you must pursue the establishment of correct paternity of the child. Without determining accurate parentage, you may be paying support for a child that is not your responsibility.
The modification of child support orders is possible.
Generally any issue concerning the care, custody or support of a child is modifiable. Any modification request however, must be bases on a substantial change in circumstances. This can include correction of paternity, loss of a job, or even an increase in one parent's gross income. Get in touch with me to discuss any modification questions or issues you may have.
