Helping with the determination of child support in Seattle.
Child support is determined in the State of Washington by a clear, non-negotiable method: both parents’ incomes are indexed to the state’s Child Support Worksheet. Monthly support payments are based on the combined net income of the parents and the number of children involved.Variations on child support are determined by special cases, such as health insurance, day care, medical or educational needs.
All of these factors are important, and the bottom line is that your children need to be supported financially. The Seattle Family Law Group understands this situation, and we use our skills and legal knowledge to fight for the welfare of your children.

Once the payment levels have been finalized, there’s no guarantee that your ex-spouse will make them in the right amount, and on time. Your Seattle divorce and child support attorney will stay on the case to determine that the mandates of the court are being followed. If they’re not, we’ll use the law to make sure your payments begin to arrive on time, and in full.
