Missouri Child Support Attorneys Documents to bring with you Child support can feel like a life saver to some parents and an anchor to others. At Hendren Andrae our family law attorneys will discuss very early on what you may expect to receive in child support or what you may expect to pay in child support. Our attorneys feel it is very important to keep our clients fully informed as to how child support may affect them. It is our practice to sit down with each prospective client in the initial consultation and prepare the form approved by the Missouri courts that will give us a close approximation of what you may expect to receive or pay in child support. This form is called a Form 14 and it is based upon the amount of child support the Missouri courts feel is necessary to support the number of children you have on the combined income of both parents. This form will give each parent credit for the amount he or she is currently paying, or may be paying in the future, for health care, day care or other extraordinary expenses. It also gives the parent that may be responsible for paying support a credit for the amount of time the child actually spends in that parent's custody. Even from the description of the Form 14 it is clear that a knowledgeable and experienced attorney is a necessity when child support is at issue. All of the family law attorneys at Hendren Andrae have dealt with child support on numerous occasions. In fact, on every case that involves children we discuss the Form 14, even if it later turns out that the form is not used in your specific case. That way, similar to our settlement strategy, you will know if you are paying a fair amount of child support. Contact: Sara Michael |
