Our streamlined process gets you the help you need quickly and efficiently.
We gather complete income information for both parents — W-2s, tax returns, business records, and overseas income. For self-employed parents or those with cash businesses, forensic analysis may be needed.
Each state has a formula based on both parents' income and the custody arrangement. We calculate the guideline amount and identify any applicable deviations (medical costs, travel expenses, special needs).
We negotiate with the other parent for a fair amount or present the case to a judge. Deviations from guidelines must be justified. We advocate for amounts that reflect the true financial picture.
The court enters the support order, typically with income withholding (automatic deduction from wages). We ensure the order is properly entered and set up for enforcement.
