Note about child support, custody and divorce laws:

Each year, an increasing number of families experience divorce, both in total number and as a percentage of the U.S. population. Most pay or receive child support. Almost all find the experience traumatic. Support groups and chatboards provide an opportunity to share a common experience with others. Be aware however, because of common myths and misplaced good intentions, that misinformation about current laws and child support may cause a greater harm. Simply put: there is no better source for information for accurate information about child support laws and legal standards than a qualified family law attorney.

Most state bar associations offer an optional certificate of specialization, to highly qualified attorneys, who prove their expertise through written examination and the recommendation of members of the bar. No attorney is required to apply for a certificate of specialization, however, qualification as a specialist does provides an increased degree of assurance for clients. State bar associations also provide a public venue to air grievances against member attorneys. The procedure and documents required are available without charge by contacting the state bar. Also be aware that the information provided throughout this website pertaining to child support laws is provided as general information only and should not be considered as legal advice. Each person's circumstance and applicable laws are unique and should be discussed with legal counsel before taking any action.
