Family Law and Child Support Attorneys
Westport, Connecticut — Manhattan, New York
The process of establishing child support payments often causes anxiety for people going through the divorce process and for people involved in paternity suits.
Many people are glad to pay reasonable support payments if they do not have primary custody of their children, but fear being forced to pay excessive and financially crippling payments for years and even decades. And many people who anticipate being awarded primary custody fear they will not receive the award that will allow them to support their child, or will allow them to support their children at the level their child needs.
Courts in both Connecticut and New York set child support payment amounts according to rigid guidelines and formulas. An experienced child support attorney can, however, work effectively toward your custody and support goals.
Experienced in Helping Parents Achieve Their Child Support Arrangement Goals.
Court child support guidelines and formulas can be inflexible. It is therefore important that courts have accurate information regarding spousal incomes when calculating parents' abilities to pay support payments.
The attorney team at the Law Offices of Heidi E. Opinsky can meet with you to assess your and your spouse's postmarriage income, expenses and ability to pay support payments and provide for minor children. We can show how relevant factors like travel expenses for visitation and medical expenses should be accounted for to ensure adequate and fair child support.
We have helped hundreds of Connecticut and New York residents achieve their full postdivorce legal and financial goals, including those relating to child support, child custody, visitation and modifications. A forensic accounting analysis and other legal and financial tools can help ensure your child support arrangement is fair and will work for you and your family.
