Freehold Child Support Lawyers
Helping Parents Support Their Children After Divorce
When it comes to divorce, or the separation of unmarried couples, children often get lost in the battle. At the Law Offices of James M. Newman and Associates, LLC, we help our clients focus on the best interests of their children during this difficult time.
Our Freehold child support attorneys assist our clients in creating comprehensive child support agreements or seeking the modification or enforcement of an existing child support order. If you have questions about how to best support your child after divorce, contact our New Jersey law offices today.
Creating Comprehensive Child Support Agreements
Your child support agreement must take into account the best interests of your child. While the state does mandate a certain payment based on income, child care and health care costs, you can create a payment plan that does much more.
At our law firm, we look not only to what the courts require, but what your child will require as she or he ages. Certain factors to consider include:
- Trust funds
- Private school costs
- College tuition
- Extracurricular activities
- Car purchase and insurance premiums
The more you and your spouse can agree upon now, the better your ongoing relationship will be, as there will hopefully be less conflict in the future. If you and your spouse cannot agree upon this issue during your divorce proceedings, we will willingly represent you and your child's interests in court.
Modification and Enforcement Proceedings
In many instances, child support agreements that are not thorough or well-thought out can lead to a request for modification or enforcement later down the line. Child support modifications are often granted upon showing the court that there has been a significant change of circumstances, including the loss of a job, a raise, or increased visitation/parenting time. If you would like to seek a modification, we are here to help. We also representing parents who wish to contest a modification request.
If you are not receiving child support payments as stated through a divorce decree or other court order, you have the right to bring a claim in court. We can walk you through this process so you can obtain the support your child needs in an efficient manner.
