Deviations From the Guidelines
Using the child support guidelines, we give you a straightforward assessment of the child support payments you can expect in your child support action or divorce. However, in some cases, deviation from the guidelines may be necessary. In these circumstances, the court may look at additional factors, such as the special needs of your child. For example, if your child has extra medical expenses or educational costs, the court may deviate from the guidelines.
Modifying and Enforcement Child Support
In Massachusetts, a child support order can be modified when there is a material change in circumstances. Attorney Laura Frechette helps clients modify existing child support orders when long-term unemployment, custodial changes or other new circumstances require a modification of a child support order.
If the non-custodial parent is not paying child support, we can also help you enforce an existing order. Every child should have emotional and financial support from both parents, and we will help you pursue the child support your son or daughter needs.
