Child Support

Child support is a legal responsibility meant to ensure that children’s needs are met, regardless of changes in family dynamics. The amount is determined based on federal guidelines and factors such as:

  • The income of both parents
  • The number of children involved
  • Custody and parenting arrangements
  • Special expenses (e.g., educational costs, medical expenses, extracurricular activities)

Byron works closely with clients to calculate accurate child support payments that reflect these guidelines, ensuring the child’s financial needs are fully addressed. He can also help in negotiating or modifying child support agreements to adapt to changing circumstances.

Spousal Support

Spousal support, or alimony, may be necessary when one spouse requires financial assistance following the end of a marriage or common-law relationship. Byron provides expert legal advice on spousal support, taking into account:

  • The length of the marriage or relationship
  • The income and financial situation of both spouses
  • Contributions made by each spouse (financial and non-financial)
  • The impact of the marriage on each spouse’s earning potential
  • The standard of living during the marriage

Whether you are seeking spousal support or defending against a claim, Byron will guide you through the process to ensure the financial outcome is fair and just.
