Experienced in Child Support Issues
The Washington Child Support Guidelines provide specific factors that must be used to determine support payments. The main factors consist of the parents' income and the number of children involved in the case. Our family-law lawyers have the skill required to analyze other factors that could heavily influence your support payments, such as:
- Voluntary unemployment
- Hiding income, especially for self-employed individuals
- Separate and community property issues
- Allowable expenses
Our Everett attorneys are also skilled in all support-collection methods. We will work through your wage garnishment, driver's license revocation and property lien issues in order to best protect your rights.
Modification of Child Support Orders
In Washington, it is possible to modify your child support agreements every two years. We know the special circumstances that allow you to request more assistance or let you lower your payments. A modification may be an option for you if you have changed the amount of residential time you have with your child, or the court did not consider children from past relationships in the original support order.
It does not make sense to spend your hard-earned money on a child support modification that will not yield a benefit for you. Our lawyers will analyze your case and explain how you can best allocate your money to achieve your child support goals.
