When you and your children’s other parent decide to end your relationship, you both are still obligated to take care of your offspring. You cannot simply write off your children and fail to provide anything for them because you no longer have a relationship with their other parent.
To ensure that you pay your fair share, you can get a court order that stipulates exactly how much that you owe to them each month. You can get that court order by hiring one of the Laurel child support lawyers to represent you.
Getting a Written Order
When you have a lawyer on retainer, you can file in family court and ask the judge to issue a written order that stipulates exactly what you will owe in child support each month. Without this order, you and the other parent may not be sure of how much each of you should pay. The court can decide what your contribution is and what the amount that the other parent must pay to satisfy your legal obligation to your children.
The written order may also come with terms like how much visitation that you are entitled to if you are not the custodial parent. It may balance your visitation or custody with your financial obligation of your children.
