Child support provides kids with necessary financial care

On Behalf of | Aug 26, 2016 | Child Support, Firm News |

Child support is an important way that parents provide for their kids, though a number of factors can complicate the process of meeting a child’s needs. The law firm of Butler, Thiessen & Metzinger, Inc. & Associates, conveniently located in Stockton, provides complete legal services for individuals struggling with their child support obligations.

For example, a change in a parent’s financial circumstances can drastically alter his or her ability to provide support to a child. Often when a parent loses a job or is forced to take employment that does not provide him or her with a stable income, a parent is unable to meet the financial commitment mandated in a child support order.

Additionally, a child’s needs may change and necessitate an increase in support from a noncustodial parent. Whether a parent’s ability to pay diminishes or the financial support a child requires increases, a parent may find him or herself struggling to stay current on burdensome child support payments that exceed his ability to pay.

When a parent simply cannot manage the financial commitment he or she is bound to through a child support order or agreement, that parent should remember there are available options. Modifications to child support orders are possible and may be obtained through the California family courts. Though a modification cannot be guaranteed in every case, the attorneys of Butler, Thiessen & Metzinger, Inc. & Associates have had success securing changes to their clients’ support obligations to enable them to keep up with their payments.

Readers who believe that they may been well-served by seeking a modification to their child support agreements and orders are invited to visit the law firm of Butler, Thiessen & Metzinger, Inc. & Associates online through its child support website. Parents generally do not want to do anything that could harm their kids. To this end, many parents will actively work to ensure that they are meeting their children’s financial needs.
