(864) 585-5100 When parents of underage children go through a divorce in South Carolina, child support will be an issue that must be resolved. Typically, one parent will receive custody of the child, and the non-custodial parent will be responsible for providing this support.
An experienced family law attorney will ensure that both you and your children receive fair treatment in whatever support arrangement is reached. A Spartanburg child support lawyer may also assist in enforcing the payment of child support or in seeking a modification of those payments.
Even if you reach an agreement with the other parent about child support payments, the agreement will still need a Family Court judge’s approval. For this reason, you should structure an agreement that is based on the same factors that a judge would examine.
Some factors include the gross income of each parent, the number of children to be supported, the custodial arrangement, the amount of premiums for health insurance for the child or children, and the amount of daycare.
A judge also has the discretion to deviate from the amount determined by the guidelines and order more or less support based on a variety of factors.
A child support lawyer in Spartanburg can help ensure your agreement is fair and aligned with South Carolina’s guidelines.
At KD Trial Lawyers, we will thoroughly review your case and help you determine the proper amount of child support that your child should receive. In particular, we will focus on whether the other parent is honestly and accurately representing your child’s needs or his or her ability to provide support for the child.
