Establishing Financial Support for Your Children

Determining child support demands planning and documentation. After a divorce, the court will determine the financial obligations of both parents in light of income and ability to provide support.

At the offices of family law attorney Timothy M. Farris, we have the resources necessary to determine the financial situation of ex-spouses living across the country, throughout Mississippi, or locally in Hattiesburg.

Child support cases take into consideration the financial situation of both parents and demand as much documentation as possible. In cases where little, if any, documentation is provided to challenge child support arrangements, the potential for lengthy and costly litigation exists. As your lawyer, Timothy M. Farris is prepared to take the steps necessary to avoid an expensive, protracted legal battle.

Important Documents For Your Lawyer To Review

In order to establish the financial situation of yourself and your ex-spouse, the following kinds of information should be made available to your attorney:

  • Tax returns

  • Credit report

  • Car payments

  • 401K statement

  • Bank statements

  • Pension statement

  • Real estate records

  • Credit card balances

  • Value of stocks, bonds, and other investments

It’s Important to Take the Initiative

As in other family law matters, it’s better to be the one who initiates legal action first. Allowing yourself time to evaluate what is in the best interests of your children and carefully building a well-documented case places you in a better position than having to respond to allegations. That’s why Timothy M. Farris is prepared to initiate the collection of data and recovery of financial records in order to build your case.

On the other hand, if your ex-spouse insists on demanding more child support when you simply don’t have the resources, we’re prepared to expose financial mismanagement and excessiveness you shouldn’t have to pay for. If the financial mismanagement is egregious and indicates a pattern of irresponsibility, Timothy M. Farris can help you challenge custody arrangements and protect your parental rights.
