Tips to Retain Some Cash when
Faced with Child Support Issues
•
Equal legal advocacy and representation
– The custodial parent may need the lawyer in cases where the non-custodial parent refuses
to comply with the terms. The non-custodial parent may seek legal assistance to ensure
that he/she is not overcharged for the child support.
•
It is economical
– You may be required to pay unnecessary high amount of child support, or on the other
hand receive less child support.
•
Lack of experience in legal matters
– You are not familiar with the court language. You might say something thinking it is
important and that may work against you. You might omit some documents therefore
lengthening the time that you will spend in court. To avoid such occurrences, it is better to
have an attorney to see you through the court process.
•
Prevents threats and intimidation
– One of the spouses may be emotionally drained by the process, and may resort to threats
and intimidations. Having an established support attorney will prevent this, as there will be
a buffer zone in matters of communication.
•
It provides efficiency
– You do not want to waste a lot of time researching on the family law, the legal procedure
that you need to follow, what you need in your case, and how you will go about it.
