Sometimes, non-custodial parents and custodial parents have certain misconceptions about child support and other family law matters. Unfortunately, these misconceptions can have disastrous consequences. For example, if you are obligated to provide your child's other parent with child support payments, you may face harsh consequences if you fail to make all of your payments in full and on time. Our law firm understands the stress that parents in this position may face across Massachusetts and we believe it may be helpful to shed light on some common misconceptions parents may have with regard to child support.
Looking at some child support misconceptions
Changing your Massachusetts child support order
If you live in Massachusetts and are currently paying or receiving child support, a situation may arise when you want to try to modify the amount payed or received. At Kajko, Weisman & Colasanti, LLP, we have a firm understanding of the various circumstances that might warrant a change to an existing child support order, and we have helped many clients navigate the process associated with doing so.
Back-to-school time and ending your marriage
For parents, the time of year when their children return to school can be challenging for different reasons. If you have a child who is getting ready for school start back up, you may be dealing with some of these hurdles yourself, such as buying school supplies, buying clothes, and trying to talk with your child about how their daily life will change. At Kajko, Weisman & Colasanti, our Massachusetts law firm also understands the ways that divorce can be particularly difficult for parents during this time of year.
Family-run businesses and high asset divorce
When it comes to high asset divorces, there are many different issues that can make splitting up with a spouse even more challenging. In Boston, and cities all across Massachusetts, high net worth couples often have far more at stake and it is particularly important for you to carefully go over all of your options and understand the potential financial impact on divorce if you are in this position. At Kajko, Weisman & Colasanti, we know how beneficial preparation can be under these circumstances, especially for those who have a family-run business.
Preparing for your Massachusetts child custody hearing
Massachusetts parents who go to court for a custody hearing only go because they cannot agree between themselves on what custody arrangement is best for their children. Thus a judge must decide this crucially important issue.
