Brown Family Attorney Child Custody Disputes

Ensuring Your Children Are Financially Supported

Each parent has a responsibility to support his or her children. The noncustodial parent will pay child support to the custodial parent. The amount paid will depend on the following:

The child support arrangement determined as part of the divorce
The number of nights each parent has with the children
Each parent’s gross monthly income

Your gross monthly income includes all sources of income, such as wages, investments, unemployment, and workers’ compensation. Any money you receive is counted toward your gross monthly income.

Our Salt Lake City child support lawyers can help you determine the amount of money you will either pay or receive, depending on whether you have custody of your children, by inputting the gross monthly incomes of you and your spouse into the Utah child support calculator.

Once this amount is determined, it will have to be paid monthly until your children reach the age of 18 or graduate from high school, whichever happens last. If you need to have this amount altered, you will have to petition for a modification of divorce decree. There must be a substantial change in circumstances for the courts to allow this change. Reasons may include:

The loss or gain of a job
One parent remarrying
One parent having another child

Salt Lake Child Support Collection Lawyers

If your former spouse is not making child support payments, you cannot deny parent-time, also known as visitation, to him or her. However, you can sue for failure to pay and for the amount owed in back payments. At Brown Family Law, our attorneys are diligent in their efforts to collect on back child support and may be able to request that attorney fees are included in the amount your former spouse owes.

We know you want what is best for your children and for yourself. We will do our best to help you achieve that.

Alexis Bishop

I had taken my boyfriend to brown law to handle what should have been an easy case for them. Everything took a turn and it became a very messy situation with the other parent. Andrew Christensen represented him and we were able to get everything settled amongst the parents (my boyfriend and his ex) to something they both were happy with, without having to go to trial or incurring any additional fees. Brown law is one of the best law firms I know of because of their lawyers (Andrew and Clay). They also sent us beautiful flowers to our house for the arrival of our new baby. I wouldn't recommend any other law firm to represent you in your hard times.

Response from the owner: Thank you, Alexis. Glad Andrew could help you.
