Morris County Child Support Lawyers

Child support has been established as a right of the child. Children must not be forgotten in the turmoil of their parents’ divorce.

What Can Child Support Cover?

While custody and parenting time must address their emotional needs, child support attempts to cover the financial side of things, including:

• Food
• Clothing
• Housing
• Extracurricular activities
• Medical care
• Childcare

Child support is often a very litigious issue. Some parents think they are paying too much while others believe they are receiving too little support. The Morris County child support attorneys at Edens Law Group can help you understand your rights.

How Is the Best Interest of a Child Determined?

Child support is calculated by guidelines that are unique to each state. The parent receiving child support is expected to cover almost all of the child’s expenses.

However, like any area of family law, it is important for the parents to be open-minded and flexible about child support. If your child has special needs, an agreement may be made in addition to the guidelines.

If both parents agree on the payment of these expenses, then your attorney can draft the necessary documents. If not, we can present your case before a judge for a decision. Rest assured we can help you gather the documentation to support your side of the case.
