Support, modification, and arrears

Augusta child support, modification, and arrears

Whether you need support collected, believe the amount should change, or dispute a claimed balance, the starting point is a careful review of the order and the evidence. I represent parents seeking support and parents responding to support-related claims.

Representation for parents seeking support or responding to a claim.

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

I am J. Michael Spence, a former Richmond County prosecutor with more than 35 years in practice. My office is in Martinez and serves Augusta-area families. Explain the assistance you are seeking and any approaching hearing or response date when you call.
