Rockland County and New City, New York, Child Support Attorney

Children deserve to be supported by both parents, regardless of the existing relationship between the parents. The amount of child support that is required in a specific situation is set by the state guidelines, but other factors may be considered to ensure that the child or children receive adequate support.

From my office in New City, I handle child support cases for clients across Rockland County. Clients trust me, attorney Nancy B. Morris , to guide them through the process and provide comprehensive legal information every step of the way. My firm, the law office of Nancy B. Morris, is focused on providing clients with personalized and professional representation that accounts for the best interests of their child or children.

The state of New York has established guidelines that calculate the amount of basic child support awarded. The combined, after-tax total incomes of each parent are used in making this sometimes complex calculation. The idea behind child support is that the children receive the same amount of financial support that they would have received if their parents had never separated or divorced.

The needs of the children and the ability of the parents to provide support are central to the guidelines. The parent that does not have primary custody (the non-custodial parent) is required by law to provide support until the turns 21 or is emancipated, whichever occurs first. There are exceptions to this, though any deviations from this standard must be decided by the courts.

A substantial change in circumstances (such as an increase or decrease in income) of either parent may result in child support payments being modified. As an experienced child support lawyer, I can review your case and help you address the modification that may be necessary to your child support order.

Please note, I also provide aggressive representation in the area of child support enforcement. I strive to help my clients recover any child support arrears or other past-due child care expenses.
