Dealing with child support and custody issues can be challenging. However, you don't have to go through this alone. A child support attorney can help make sure that you get the legal assistance and support you need for a successful child support case. According to VeryWell Family, the average amount of child support is $5,760 per year which is less than $500 a month. It's critical that you get a fair amount of child support from the other parent. Here are a few questions you should ask when meeting with a child support lawyer.
You'll want to get an idea of how the lawyer works with clients. Do they follow a cut-and-dry list of rules with a one-size-fits-all mentality? Or do they understand that every family is different and must be looked at on an individual basis? Will you be allowed in on the final decisions on how the case will be presented? Will the lawyer expect you to just blindly trust their judgment? This is important information you'll need to have in order to choose a lawyer wisely.
The answer to this question will give you an idea of the level of experience the lawyer has and how popular they are in the area. You want a lawyer that is experienced in these types of cases. You don't want to be the guinea pig for someone who's just now starting out and trying to learn. You also want to make sure that child support is what they specialize in. Family law can cover a lot of different aspects of family issues. You want your child support lawyer to be an expert on child support in your state.
Every family is different, and some cases are unique. You will want to try to find out if your case is unique, average, or very unusual. This will help you better understand your chances of success and how easy or difficult it might be to represent your case in court. If your case is unusual, ask the lawyer to elaborate on the aspects of the case that seem different.
