"Many of our prospective clients have needlessly suffered from anxiety, fear, embarrassment and other emotional difficulty because of their family law problems. The causes are generally (1) Fear of the unknown (of their rights in a dissolution action), (2) Concern over protecting their relationship with their children and causing as little turmoil as possible and (3) Concern about finances; i.e., where will the money come from or how much money will they have to pay."

Child support covers everything a child needs, and even more during the growth and formative years. A parent's first and principal obligation is to support his/her minor children according to the parent's circumstances and station in life. Children should share in the standard of living of both parents, thus the amount of a child support award is more than a question of bare necessities. Where the supporting parent enjoys a lifestyle that exceeds the custodial parent's living standard, child support must to some degree reflect that more opulent lifestyle.
