Child Support Attorneys

Following parental separation or divorce, establishing a fair child support order is crucial for a child’s financial well-being.  Since modifying these orders can be challenging later, getting it right from the start is important.

The establishment phase involves several legal aspects, including verifying paternity and calculating support amounts according to Ohio’s specific guidelines.  Having an experienced Ohio child support attorney by your side is invaluable.  Our Family Law team at CPM will guide you through the process, ensuring any potential roadblocks are addressed and the final order adequately meets your children’s needs.

A modification to a child support order may be needed if circumstances have changed since the order was issued, such as increased medical expenses, childcare costs, or a change in income. Our attorneys can guide you through the legal process of petitioning the court to adjust the original order. This may involve a court appearance and, depending on the request, negotiation with the other party.  Having a trusted legal advocate by your side will ensure you have the support you need to present your case effectively.

Unfortunately, failure to pay child support is all too common in Ohio. By engaging with a CPM attorney, we’ll work to ensure that the court order is followed, providing the necessary support that is needed for raising the child(ren). CPM attorneys will aggressively pursue a payment schedule and work with governing authorities to ensure child support is paid promptly.
