Ensure a fair child support order in fort collins=
Navigating a divorce is complicated, especially as a parent. You want what’s best for your children, but you also need to determine what the future will look like for you and your spouse. Though you will not be married any longer, there is still a lot to determine between the two of you, and chances are you will have to interact with them on some level when it comes to co-parenting your children. For some families, post-divorce involves shared child custody. For others, child support is more appropriate. Neither option is better than the other, and either one may work for your changing family structure. The one constant in both options is the necessity of child support attorneys on both sides of the negotiation, to ensure that the process is done legally and goes smoothly.
What is child support?
When couples divorce, they are no longer responsible to each other. However, if the couple shares children, each spouse is responsible for caring for their child, regardless of their marriage status. The court measures each parent’s contribution in both financial support and time spent raising the children. The two of these must be equal in some way. Child support payments are made from one parent to another to make up for a discrepancy in time spent with the children.


When is child support necessary?
There is no hard and fast rule about when child support is warranted. If you and your ex-spouse spend roughly the same amount of time with your children, and you make similar amounts of income, it is unlikely that child support will be on the table. However, if either you or your spouse spends more time with the children, the other spouse may need to pay child support.
For example, let’s say that a father is the primary caregiver and his children live with him during the week and every other weekend. The children’s mother has custody every other weekend, and that’s it. The mother may be obligated to pay child support to the father, as she is spending less time raising her children. The payment makes up for her lower level of involvement.
Overall, child support is an option when there is a significant difference between the time each parent spends raising the children.

How Much do child support lawyers modify?
Each law firm is different, as is every case, so it is difficult to say how much your case may cost. Modifications of child support agreements generally cost between $1,000 and $3,000, but it depends on the law firm’s policies and how in-depth your case is. Some attorneys require a retainer, while others do not. In all cases, it is best to discuss payment with your attorney up front, to ensure that you understand their terms and fees, and feel prepared to work with them.

I came to the Johnson Law Group during a time of extreme stress. Andrea Dalton accepted my case and made me feel right at ease. She is compassionate, gives sound advice, and helped me obtain over $20,000 that my ex husband was illegally withholding from me. I appreciate her for giving me the confidence to stand up for myself. If I have any issues with my ex in the future, I will not hesitate to reach out to Andrea for help.

I wasn’t familiar with the process of child custody but I must say not only did Myles and his team direct me properly but it was a process that wasn’t money motivated. Very professional group, I was constantly informed of any step or move needed to be made, and they took a very stressful situation and made it a very pleasant storm. Thank you Myles and Johnson group for everything!”- Dwight

Myles is the best representation for anyone who has to go through an APR case. From day 1 he was very welcoming and attentive to me and what I was going through. I always felt very respected by him and the other members of his firm. Myles always took the time to really investigate any information or things involved with my case. I knew he was truly invested in my best wishes. When there were deadlines that needed to be met, they always were. If I was ever confused about a process, paperwork or court proceedings Myles took the time to explain and make sure I was comfortable and understood what was going on. All the way through Mediation. He was an absolute success and I could not have asked for better representation. I will always recommend Myles to anyone in need an attorney.
