Figuring out child support payments depends on a range of factors. Alabama has its own system for calculating child support, which takes into account the financial situation of the custodial parent and noncustodial parent. At Grainger Hawley & Shinbaum, LLC, we know child support can be a frustrating topic. Attorney Bradley Hawley is experienced in working with parents on child support agreements in Prattville and throughout Alabama.
Among the considerations in determining support are:
Your role in the custody of your child will be a major factor in child support. You may pay less in child support if you share custody, as you will have a more active role in the child’s day-to-day life.
It is possible to modify child support. Most often, this is the result of a change in a financial situation for one of the parents. Both sides must agree to make changes in payment, and a judge must sign off on the agreement. Common reasons for changing child support include:
It is also possible to get a temporary child support modification. This can be brought on by factors such as a medical emergency or a temporary hardship such as one parent losing a job.
