Child Support
Experienced Family Law Trial Lawyers in Boise
In order to successfully obtain the child support your child deserves, or to defend against an exorbitant child support demand, your family law attorney will need more than the negotiation and litigation skills developed through years at the settlement table and in court. He or she will need extensive knowledge regarding:
- Idaho child support guidelines
- The laws governing the establishment of child support payments and/or the enforcement of child support decrees if the payor is in contempt
- How child custody percentages will affect parents' child support rights and obligations
- The courts' right to impugn a parent if he or she overtly fails to meet income expectations and likelihoods. For instance, if a parent who is a doctor chooses to "flip burgers" to keep income down, the court can intervene
Clearly, confusing child support complications can arise, and solutions and options are complex. The attorneys of Miller & Harr, PLLC can provide experienced advocacy aimed at protecting the interests of you and your child in a cost-effective manner.
Are you involved in a child support dispute? Do you need help maximizing or minimizing the child support payments you will pay or receive? Has your former spouse ceased child support payments? Call 888-562-0049 or 208-473-2586.
Child support guidelines provide clear guidance to family law judges regarding awards. For instance, if you make "X" amount and your spouse makes "X" amount, you will receive a set amount based upon other well laid-out factors, including the number of children involved.
Flexibility exists, however, and we can help you pursue your best outcome. For instance, what is the true income of a self-employed former spouse? Is your former spouse earning his or her potential income? And, has child care, dependent care, medical expense, medical insurance and other costs been factored into the calculation?
We can fully investigate your situation and present a thorough case in negotiations and trial. To learn more about our firm and your child support and child support modification rights in Idaho, contact our firm.
