Portland Child Support Attorneys
Legal Counsel With a Business Background
Calculating the necessary amount of support for a child is not as easy it seems. At the law firm of DeBast, McFarland & Richardson, LLP, our Portland child support lawyers have the comprehensive knowledge and unique experience needed to accurately determine the amount of support payments under state guidelines.
Recent laws have created a child support calculator in an effort to simplify the process. However, sound legal advice is still necessary to ensure that the numbers you enter are accurate. Contact our Oregon family law attorneys online or call 503-297-9600 to schedule a meeting to discuss your situation.
It Does Not Pay to Do It Yourself
You may have visited the online child support calculator, plugged in your information and have ended up with a result. You may assume that this is accurate. However, the true end result may come as a surprise if your child support calculation was not based on the proper data. At DeBast, McFarland & Richardson, LLP, our Portland divorce lawyers will take the process a step further to ensure that the amount you anticipate paying or receiving is truly reflective of all the relevant factors.
The courts will examine 20 factors to determine whether to deviate from strict child support guidelines. While the chances that the court will deviate are low, we will work hard to ensure that all income, expenses and time spent with the children are accounted for when support payments are determined.
We Provide Both Business and Legal Experience
We employ effective techniques that we have honed in legal arenas and in business to locate all of the money that is coming in, as well as the source of those finances. We will pay attention to all of the details in expenses related to schooling, child care and medical needs. We will ensure that the time spent with your children is looked upon with equal value when determining the amount of support.
