What Can a Lawyer Do for Me?

Setting up child support between you and your former partner does not legally require a lawyer. However, there are many reasons why it is preferable for all parties that you bring a lawyer in to represent them.

To begin with, disagreeing over money and children is sure to be a highly emotional process for former partners, and it is easy for these strong emotions to lead to an imperfect agreement that negatively affects your children. When you need to make sure the deal is fair and provides everything your children need, there’s no room for hurt feelings. With a lawyer on your side, you’ll be able to take the emotion out of the negotiations by allowing outside representatives to watch over your interests and get the best deal for everyone.

Additionally, a lawyer can ensure that your agreement is fair and enforceable within the limits of the law. Family law is complex, so coming to an agreement that the court will accept and be able to enforce isn’t easy. A lawyer can gather all the necessary evidence to prove that the child support you suggest is fair and fight for your rights if it is disputed.

Child Support Cases We Will Handle

Child support is a crucial part of taking care of your children. Not every child support case is the same, though, and they aren’t all straightforward. We can help you with any of these child support cases:

• Negotiating child support: Whether before a divorce or after an unmarried partnership breaks up, we can help you negotiate the correct level of child support for your children with your former partner or their legal representative. Texas has set limits on child support depending on the number of children involved, and we can make sure the support is fair but meets the needs of the children.
• Modifying child support: Financial circumstances can change for one or both partners. Child support agreements often need to be revisited and modified to make adjustments when jobs, salaries, or life circumstances change. We can represent you through this modification process to make sure the interests of you and your children continue to be put first.
• Paternity tests to collect child support: Not all child support cases are completely clear. Sometimes, paternity tests are required to ensure the father is held accountable for the support he is legally required to give. We know what to say to a judge to convince them to order a paternity test, and how to negotiate for the correct amount afterward.
• Enforcing child support: When support payments aren’t being made, the agreement breaks down. At this point, you may end up in court either to demand the court to enforce the agreement or to defend yourself against failure to make payments. We can help you in either circumstance to guide the court towards the best decision for you.
• Collecting on child support arrears: When the parent paying child support falls significantly behind in payments, the parent receiving the support can demand those missed payments be paid. We can help you through the process to collect those payments that are in arrears. Similarly, if you have fallen behind on child support payments, we can argue on your behalf to prevent you from having to take on such a huge financial burden.

Child support is a complicated process, with many different rules and regulations governing it. Whatever your child support difficulties, Gregory Law PLLC is here to work with you to make sure the best decision is reached, every time.
