Multi-State Divorce and Family Lawyers – Client Expectations

For many people throughout the country, family forms the foundation. When family changes through divorce and separation, it can be difficult. Fortunately, a skilled divorce and family law attorney can handle the legal issues that affect your family so you can move forward in life.

At Stange Law Firm, PC, we exclusively handle family law matters, which give us the in-depth knowledge to resolve even the most complex, sophisticated and serious family law issues for our clients. From our multi-state office locations, our divorce lawyers serve clients throughout the states in which we are located who are looking for a legal team they can trust and rely on to rebuild their lives.

If you are thinking about filing for divorce, or if you have recently been served divorce papers by your spouse, you probably have a lot more questions than answers. A family law focused divorce attorney can help you understand the legal process and explain your options. Going through a divorce can be an extremely challenging time. You don't have to go through it alone.

Our divorce lawyers work hard to protect our clients' interests in divorce proceedings. When there are children involved our child custody attorneys hold their interests in the highest regard and do everything to ease their transition. From our multi-state office locations, our divorce lawyers represent clients with family law needs.

Unless the parents have approximately equal custody time with the children and make roughly the same amount of money, or there are other important considerations like children from other relationships, one parent will often pay child support to the other. While not absolute, the parent who does not have the children most of the time generally pays support to the parent who has more custody time.

Child support lawyers have child support guidelines to help parents determine how much support they will pay or receive. The laws vary in each state. However, the guidelines are often based on the parents' gross incomes and take many different factors into account, such as the costs of day care, medical costs, and custody time. Parents must often provide tax records and payroll stubs to their child support attorney in order to have the amount correctly calculated. In some states, net income can become a factor for family lawyers.

It can feel overwhelming to try to make the calculation yourself — especially because so much depends on getting things exactly right. Our family lawyers take on the responsibility for our clients. Our multi-state family law firm also represents parents who need child support matters determined as part of a divorce or paternity proceeding, as well as parents seeking to modify or enforce an existing child support order.
