Child Support Lawyer Potomac, MD

Maryland law requires both parents to contribute to their children’s needs, including providing food, shelter, and clothing, plus a safe, supportive environment. When parents are no longer together, one parent is often ordered to pay child support to the parent who has primary physical custody of the child. Even in cases of 50/50 shared custody, one parent may be required to pay child support to the other if there is a significant income difference that could impact the child’s quality of life.

However, child support is often a subject of dispute. The receiving parent may claim they don’t receive enough to fully meet their child’s needs, while the paying parent may balk at sending money to their ex, not knowing exactly how it’s being spent.

Our Potomac child support lawyer works for both paying and receiving parents. We can help you establish a fair support amount and payment schedule if you’re going through a split, assist in establishing paternity so you can get the child support you need, and file an enforcement action with the court if the paying parent isn’t paying the support on time (or refusing to pay, period).

We want to help ensure your child has a comfortable life, and that you don’t have to stress about paying or receiving child support. If you prefer, we can serve as the primary point of contact with your child’s other parent, which can help maintain a more cordial co-parenting relationship. From representing you in court to advising you of your legal options regarding your child support obligations, we can handle all the legal matters on your behalf.
