One of the most important aspects of any divorce is the issue of child support. This issue can be one upon which the two parents do not agree and it may be necessary to get it resolved in court. With careful and effective negotiations from a Suffolk County divorce lawyer from Winkler, Kurtz, Winkler & Kuhn, LLP, it may be possible to get a resolution without having to depend upon the intervention of the court. There are cases in which one parent will not compromise and there is no other option than taking the case before a judge to get the child support that you need and deserve for your children. We are committed to protecting the interests of the children and fighting for fair child support payments to provide for them adequately. Likewise, there are parents who ask for too much child support and we are committed to making sure that the non-residential parent is not made to overpay.

In some cases, the court has ordered specific child support payments and the parent fails to provide them. This creates serious financial problems and must be resolved. If you need help in enforcing child support, our legal team can help. The court does not look kindly upon those who fail to comply with a court order and there could be legal ramifications for the parent that has failed to abide by the court order with regard to child support. The state provides for a variety of means to recover arrears of child support and initiating these actions can lead to a faster resolution for you and your children.

Any time a child support order needs to be modified, it must be done through the court. A child may have changed needs and require more support, or the parent who is providing the child support payments could have changed circumstances, such as loss of a job or reduced income that would require a modification to child support. This includes reduction in child support for a parent who has experienced an unforeseen substantial reduction of their income and can no longer afford to pay the existing amount of child support. We can help you get any such matter resolved.
