Knowledgeable, Experienced Help in Child Support Matters
"The central struggle of parenthood is to let our hopes for our children outweigh our fears." —Ellen Goodman
With experience in Minnesota family law since 1985, I am a lawyer who is well equipped to help clients understand the legal details of child support and pursue the support to which they are entitled. In addition, I can help clients to avoid unwittingly paying more than they are legally required.
Child support obligations are calculated according to the Minnesota Child Support Guidelines, which primarily take into account both parties' monthly incomes. However, there are other issues that may affect payment amounts, such as:
- Amount of parenting time (child custody) ordered by the court
- Day care and health care costs
- Losing or gaining a job
- Retirement or disability
Going the Extra Mile to Educate and Assist
At my law firm, I not only help my clients to understand the court system and the legal requirements of child support, but I also take whatever steps I can to smooth the process for them. For instance, I have assisted many self-employed clients who had disorganized financial records that were inadmissible in court. In addition to advising them, I created tip sheets that clearly explained how to set up credible records that the courts would recognize.
