There are more than
13 million divorced parents with sole custody of their minor
children in America. Federal legislation and uniform state laws
exist to make enforcement and collection of child support easier
for America's single parents. Every state uses its own guidelines
for establishing child support and each has various methods to set
support amounts and recover support when it is overdue.
You Need an Attorney on Your
Side
It is important to consult with an experienced family law attorney
if you need help with a child support related issue. An attorney
with experience in the area of child support will help you
understand the laws in your state and the rules for child support
collection and enforcement that apply to your particular situation,
whether you are ending a marriage or are already divorced, have
questions about paternity or are the parent paying support.
