Identify the issue before choosing the next step
An initial calculation, a request to change future support, and a dispute about past payments require different preparation. This site gives each issue its own place so you can bring the right information to your consultation.
Both sides deserve a reliable record
I review income information, existing worksheets and orders, payment histories, claimed credits, and the facts relevant to enforcement or defense. A rough estimate of income or an unexplained balance is not a substitute for the underlying documents.
Personal representation for your circumstances
