Massachusetts Child Support Representation
In Massachusetts, child support obligations are determined according to a calculation that includes income from both parents and may include additional factors such as number of children and who is responsible for providing health insurance.
As a Massachusetts family law attorney for 30 years, I have extensive knowledge of the child support calculation system and ways to protect my clients' rights. While it's true that all income must be entered into the formula, there are factors that can be applied to determine what counts as includable income and what should be excluded. Understanding the system can make a significant difference in the amount a custodial parent receives or the noncustodial parent pays.
If you need legal representation in a child support matter, contact me, a Dedham, Massachusetts, child support attorney by e-mail or call 781-352-4517 to schedule an appointment. I serve clients throughout Norfolk, Middlesex, Bristol and Plymouth counties.
Experienced Counsel for All Child Support Matters
In many divorces, the noncustodial parent agrees to pay, or is ordered to pay, a certain amount of expenses beyond child support. This may include extracurricular activities, special health care costs, education costs for a special school, as well as social activities and sports. Receipt of child support cannot be used to determine parenting time. At The Law Office of John J. Hoffman, I offer sound legal advice and experienced representation in all areas of child support, including:
- Child support calculations
- Paternity and fathers' rights
- Contempt and child support enforcement
- Parenting schedules
- Modifications to visitation rights
- Relocation and removal cases
With 30 years of family law experience, I know how the child support system operates. I can meet with you to speak about your child support case, and can provide you with legal advice regarding when you can expect child support obligations to end and whether you will have to pay or receive child support through your child's college years.
