Child Custody and Visitation
Sometimes, parents having the best interests of their children in mind
can set aside their personal differences for the sake of their children
and agree to a workable child custody and visitation arrangement. In
other cases, the decision about child custody and visitation does not
come so easily. Mary Ann Hess's experience in child custody and
visitation disputes can be a valuable asset for a parent in divorce.
Child Support
Both parents have an obligation to support their children, regardless of
the health and status of their marriage. Child support payment is a
court-ordered amount that the non-custodial parent must pay to the
custodial parent to cover a proportionate amount of the child's
expenses, including housing and utilities, food, clothing, education
expenses, and other costs that determine the ultimate child support
obligation. Mary Ann Hess's experience in child support calculation and
negotiation can help ensure that both parents live up to their child
support responsibilities. |
