Practice/Industry Group Overview

Child support is an issue that has received a great deal of attention and revamping in the last two decades.  Whether you are the person who pays or will receive payment, you will want to understand this important issue.  The federal government, in order to bring the states into line on the child support issue, requires that each state come up with a child support formula or “Guide Lines” that would render a predictable result based upon the number of children and the income of the parties.  Massachusetts has its own formula which is presumptive for payment of child support for children 18 years old or younger.  That being said, the guide lines can be departed from if the facts of your case justify a deviation.  I would be happy to meet with you to discuss deviations.
