The Pennsylvania Law Offices of Black & Older

Philadelphia Child Support Lawyers

Child and spousal support are calculated according certain requirements contained in Pennsylvania state law. While certain aspects of child and spousal support can be negotiated, understanding child / spousal support obligations, payment determinations, and legal remedies in cases where payments are not made, requires the guidance of an experienced child support lawyer.

At Black & Older, we explain what clients can expect to receive or pay in child / spousal support, taking into account issues such as income, debt, other financial obligations, and changes in circumstances. Our child / spousal support attorneys prepare necessary paperwork, collect financial documentation, and present your case before the court.

Changes in circumstances

Enforcement

Child support is not a punishment, nor is it intended as support for an ex-spouse. Child support pays for certain necessities for one’s children. When child support is not paid, children suffer the most. At Black & Older, our child support attorneys are prepared to do what is legally necessary to enforce child support payments. Whether it’s garnishing wages or asking the court to intervene in some other manner, we pursue those who are unwilling to pay what they owe for their children.

Alternatively, sometimes job loss, disability, or extenuating circumstances prevent people from paying all or some of the child support they owe. If you’re facing financial difficulties that prevent you from paying child support, we’ll initiate legal proceedings to protect your from financial penalties and potential imprisonment. Regardless of how well you and your ex-spouse get along, if the court does not officially recognize a change to your situation, you are leaving yourself exposed to serious legal and financial problems.
