Maryland Alimony and Child Support Attorney
Determining alimony and child support amounts when parents are divorced or separated is not as always as straightforward as putting numbers into state child support calculators or some other simple formula. Questions and problem areas that may need to be addressed carefully include the following:
- Child custody and visitation modifications can tip the balance on how much time each parent spends with a child or children ― one of the factors involved in determining child support.
- Children may have special needs such as the following:
- Medical needs
- Learning disabilities requiring tutoring
- Attention deficit disorder requiring therapy
- Giftedness or interest development including participation in sports, art, music or drama, for example
- Summer camps
- College expenses when parents choose to include these in a divorce or separation agreement
