Experienced Counsel and Legal Support
Child support payments are closely tied to the continued growth and well-being of a child whose parents have gone through a divorce or legal separation. At the Law Offices of Shea & Barron, we represent both men and women in a variety of family law issues related to divorce, including child support.
Determining Equitable Child Support Payments
The amount of child support depends on several factors such as the number of children in the family, their ages, the relative income or potential earning power of each spouse and the length of the marriage. We review all these factors and work closely with clients to develop reasonable expectations for child support payments.
Our firm can help clients obtain modifications to existing child support agreements. The court considers modifications when either spouse experiences a significant change in circumstances such as:
- Job loss
- Relocation to another city, state or country
- Promotion at work
- Serious personal injury
- Remarriage
If you or your former spouse has encountered a significant change in circumstances, our Columbia child support attorneys can help you modify or enforce your existing agreement to fit your new situation. We are available to represent your interests in court or appeal a court's decision if we think it is in your best interest.
