We Can Help You Navigate Any Michigan Child Support Matter

In Michigan, child support payment amounts are not determined based on a whim; they are calculated pursuant to specific state guidelines. These guidelines take into account factors including the incomes of both parents and the number of overnights a child spends with each parent.

Whether you pay or receive child support (or you expect to pay or receive it in the future) our attorneys can help you make sense of the guidelines, which prescribe support for children until they reach age 18 or graduate from high school. In all support and custodial matters, we will work to make sure you are treated fairly in the court orders related to your case. We can also help you seek a modification of your child support order if you have experienced a qualifying loss of income or another significant life change.
