Child Support

Parents must consider not only how divorce affects them, but also how it affects their children — both emotionally and financially. At Massaro Law, P.C., our skilled family law attorneys are experienced in child support matters. We help you obtain a fair and reasonable child support arrangement that allows you to raise and support your child in a safe and healthy environment. Drawing on numerous years of experience, we help parents: 

 

  • Understand child support guidelines 

  • Negotiate child support payments 

  • Litigate child support issues 

  • Enforce child support orders 

  • Modify child support orders

 

In some cases, litigation is necessary for your child to receive fair financial support from both parents that is neither insufficient nor gluttonous. Our attorneys methodically prepare for litigation to achieve the most equitable support arrangement for your child. 

 

Working Within and Beyond the Child Support Guidelines

New Jersey law establishes general child support guidelines. Our attorneys help you understand the basis of these guidelines and how they might apply to you. We’re committed to achieving the best possible financial solutions within the guidelines. That begins with using the discovery process to compel a full, truthful financial disclosure, so the court can calculate basic child support with accurate data. Affluent couples must often deal with issues beyond basic child support, such as payments for private school tuition, sports and enrichment activities. We help you obtain support payments that best accommodate your financial circumstances and most appropriately provide for your child’s needs. 

 

Enforcement and Modification of Child Support

If your spouse has fallen behind on child support payments, you may need assistance to collect the money that rightfully belongs to your child. At Massaro Law, P.C., we guide you through the process of enforcing your child support order. Of course, financial problems or the changing needs of your children may alter your circumstances. Still, you must continue to pay child support at the current level until the court modifies your order. Our attorneys can help you petition expeditiously for a modification to avoid undue hardship.
