Child / Spousal Support
The family law attorneys at Black & Older represent clients in regard to the following child / spousal support issues:
- Enforcement
- Negotiating special terms
- Changes in circumstances
- Challenging financial findings
Enforcement
Child support is not a punishment, nor is it intended as support for an ex-spouse. Child support pays for certain necessities for one’s children. When child support is not paid, children suffer the most. At Black & Older, our child support attorneys are prepared to do whatever it takes to enforce child support payments. Whether it’s garnishing wages or asking the court to intervene in some other manner, we aggressively pursue those who are unwilling to pay what they owe for their children.
Alternatively, sometimes job loss, disability, or extenuating circumstances prevent people from paying the child support they owe. If you’re facing financial difficulties that prevent you from paying child support, we’ll initiate legal proceedings to protect your from financial penalties and potential imprisonment. Regardless of how well you and your ex-spouse get along, if the court does not officially recognize a change to your situation, you are exposed to serious legal and financial problems.
