Memphis Child Support Lawyers

When a couple with children divorces, one of the most important issues to be resolved is the matter of child support. Child support is the financial support that one parent pays to the other to help cover the expenses of raising a child.

At Bostick Law, we understand that the amount of child support can have a significant impact on both the child's and the parents' lives. That's why we are committed to helping our clients navigate the complexities of child support laws and guidelines.

How is Child Support Calculated?

Child support is typically calculated based on the income of both parents and the amount of time each parent spends with the child. Other factors that may be taken into account include the child's educational and medical expenses and the parents' other financial obligations.

In some cases, parents may agree to a child support arrangement on their own. However, if the parents cannot come to an agreement, the court will make a determination based on the state's child support guidelines.

Enforcing Child Support Orders

Unfortunately, some parents fail to pay their court-ordered child support. If this happens, the custodial parent may need to take legal action to enforce the order. Our firm has extensive experience in enforcing child support orders and can help ensure that your child receives the support they need.

Modifying Child Support Orders

Sometimes, circumstances change and the child support order needs to be modified. For example, if one parent loses their job or experiences a significant decrease in income, they may no longer be able to pay the same amount of child support. Alternatively, if the child's needs change or if one parent begins to spend more time with the child, the child support order may need to be modified.

Our attorneys can assist you in modifying a child support order to reflect the current situation and ensure that the child's best interests are protected.
