St. Cloud-Princeton Area Child Support Attorney
In Minnesota, as in many other states, the courts apply a relatively simple calculation based on parental income and other factors in order to set child support obligations in divorce. This is a general calculation that may not take into account special circumstances. In addition, child support derived purely through a calculation does not necessarily offer the custom-tailored solution that a mutual agreement can produce.
When a dispute arises over child support, many individuals assume that litigation is inevitable. This is not necessarily the case. In our experience, mediation can allow parties to resolve disputes over child support in a relatively amicable manner that avoids the necessity for a potentially lengthy and expensive trial.
Thompson Legal Services protects the rights of individuals in the St. Cloud-Princeton area and throughout Minnesota involved in child support disputes. Whether you are developing an initial plan or interested in a modification of a preexisting order, contact us by e-mail at john@mnchapter7.com or by telephone for a free initial consultation to determine if mediation can offer the real, lasting solution you seek.
Child Support Modifications and Enforcement
If there has been a significant and substantial change in your economic situation, it may be necessary to seek a formal modification of an existing child support order. The circumstances that may precipitate a modification vary and can include remarriage, loss of job or a bankruptcy filing. Attorney John Thompson can assess your situation and offer sound legal advice regarding the modification process.
We work diligently to find a solution to child support arrears in an amicable fashion, whenever possible. It may be possible to work out a mutually-agreeable plan that enables the supporting parent to catch up on payments. It should be noted, however, that it may be necessary to seek the court's help with enforcement of the child support order.
