Experienced Legal Representation in Wood River Child Support Matters
Among the most contentious issues in dissolution and post-dissolution matters are child custody, visitation issues and child support. The Law Office of Susan F. Grammer, Attorney at Law, has 29 years of experience helping clients in and around East Alton, Illinois, find effective results in family law. Whether going through a divorce or needing child support as a single unmarried parent, we work one-on-one with you to obtain resolutions that fit your unique situation.
Considerations in Child Support
Child support, unlike child custody, follows a more formulaic approach and is based on income and potential earning power of the individual parents. Our lawyers walk you through child support calculations so you know what to expect and can make informed decisions about your goals.
Custody arrangements and parenting plans can also affect child support payments, so it is important to work with a skilled child custody and support lawyer throughout the process.
Modifying Your Existing Child Support Obligations
Child support payments usually terminate once the child reaches the age of adulthood. However, other life circumstances can affect child support and custody, such as a child with special needs, a child who is going to college, relocation or remarriage of either parent. Job loss and other financial considerations are also factors the court will consider for modification.
If you have lost your job or recently remarried, contact our skilled East Alton child support attorneys to talk about your options for modification of child support arrangements. Attorney Susan Grammer is licensed to practice in Illinois and Missouri.
