Often, the biggest issue in the determination of child support lies in the accurate reporting of income. If one spouse is a W-2 employee, income is easily discernible. If the party is self-employed, however, an accurate number for income might be more difficult to arrive at. Courts can look at other factors, beyond tax returns, such as spending habits, credit card and bank records to aid in the determination of income for support purposes. We have a great deal of experience in examining financial records and conducting thorough investigations and dispositions to ensure that the proper determination of income is made for child support or alimony purposes.
Additionally, child support may be modified if there has been a material change in circumstances, such as an involuntary loss of or change in employment, income, or if the custodial arrangement has been changed.
