Aggressive Representation in Child Support Cases
Child support is paid by the non-custodial parent to the custodial parent in almost all cases. Child support is not awarded as a punishment,
but rather as a payment that ensures children share in the resources of both parents. At Durden & Mills, PC, we are committed to helping parents
establish child support payments that are fair, equitable, and in the best interests of the children.
At the Durden & Mills, PC law firm, we realize that collecting or modifying child support is often times an issue that requires immediate
attention and resolution. With the new child support guidelines, the non-custodial parent's child support obligation is now calculated based on
a formula using both the custodial and the non-custodial parent's income. We are skilled in the calculation and know how to properly prepare the
child support worksheets to insure the award is appropriate. If either party is involved in a small business, it is also important to investigate
all income streams or other forms of payment to insure the child support award is calculated fairly and accurately.Sometimes, child support and
spousal support (alimony) may need to be changed when there is a substantial change of circumstances, such as a decrease or increase in a parent's
income, or a decrease or increase in the financial needs of a spouse or child.
We handle all aspects of child support, including the initial support award and child support modifications. Once child support is ordered, it is
normally required to be paid until the child turns eighteen or graduates from high school.
We also represent non-custodial parents against Child Support Enforcement or the custodial parent who is seeking to obtain child support or
requesting an increase. Often times it is important the non-custodial parent has experienced representation to insure their interests are protected.
