Experienced Clinton Township Child Support Lawyer
Whether seeking to establish a child support order, modify an existing one or enforce payments, a child support lawyer can be beneficial. Michigan law has specific guidelines for calculating child support, but every case is unique, requiring careful legal attention to protect your rights and your child’s best interests.
I am attorney Jessica Lashier, and I have provided dedicated legal services in Clinton Township, Michigan, since founding my firm in 2012. Lashier Law, PLLC, has major experience handling child support cases and guiding parents through the legal process with knowledge and dedication. I understand the financial and emotional complexities involved and work diligently to advocate for the best possible outcome in every case.
Establishing Child Support
In Michigan, child support is determined based on factors such as:
- Each parent’s income
- The number of children
- Healthcare costs
- Childcare expenses
Courts use the Michigan Child Support Formula, but it is vital to have a family law attorney who can assess your unique situation and present a strong case. Whether you are seeking child support for the first time or responding to a request, I can help you understand your rights and obligations under Michigan law.
Modifying Child Support Orders
Life circumstances change, and a child support order may need to be adjusted to reflect new financial realities. If you or the other parent has experienced a significant change in income, medical expenses or parenting time, you may be eligible for a modification.
I help parents in Clinton Township petition for modifications and present compelling evidence to support necessary adjustments. As a dedicated attorney, I work to help parents achieve fair and legally sound modifications that prioritize their child’s needs.
Enforcing Child Support Payments
When a parent fails to meet their child support obligations, legal action may be required to enforce payment. Michigan courts take child support enforcement seriously, using methods such as wage garnishments, tax refund interceptions and license suspensions.
If you are not receiving court-ordered child support, I can help you take the necessary steps to collect what is owed to your child.
