Middle Tennessee Child Support Attorneys
Child support issues arise not only for clients facing a divorce who are trying to settle on an agreement for parental responsibility, but also for unmarried couples where paternity has been established.
It is, however, critical that child support agreements be fair and that both parties are completely forthcoming about their ability to financially participate. At the Nashville office of Middle Tennessee Law, an Association of Attorneys, our experienced family law attorneys represent your interests in negotiating and enforcing child support agreements for both divorcing couples and parents of a child born out of wedlock.
Representation and Protection for all Parents
When the courts recognize an individual as a legal parent and award child custody and visitation rights, that person takes on the responsibility of supporting that child. When fathers in particular decide to participate in the lives of their children and exercise their paternal rights they also take on child support responsibilities. Discussion of child support issues are central to many of the divorce cases we handle, but even absent a marriage the office of Middle Tennessee Law provides strong legal advice and representation.
Our attorneys recognize that all parents need strong and experienced representation from an attorney who is committed to ensuring that they are either receiving the proper amount of child support or aren't being tasked with a disproportionate burden of paying too much support.
Enforcement and Modifications of Child Support
Primary caregivers who have been designated to receive child support payment have a right to expect the other parent to live up to that obligation. In situations of nonpayment, a deadbeat parent can be found to be in contempt of court for failing to provide timely and complete support, and our office can help you pursue steps to make certain that payments are received.
However, child support is not meant to be a disproportionate burden on income, and for parents struggling against situations beyond their control, we can help you pursue child support modifications for temporary or permanent reduction of support.
