Child Support Lawyer Tacoma, WA
Washington law requires both parents to materially contribute to their children’s needs, including food, shelter, clothing, and providing a safe, supportive home environment. When parents separate, one parent is often ordered to pay child support to the parent with primary physical custody of the child. Even in 50/50 shared custody arrangements, one parent may be required to pay support if there’s a significant income difference between the two that makes a large difference in the child’s quality of life.
Child support disputes are common, and many require legal intervention to resolve, especially when the parents don’t get along and cannot work toward a compromise. The receiving parent may feel the support they’re being sent isn’t enough to meet the child’s needs. Or, the paying parent may refuse to send money without knowing how it’s being used for their child.
Our Tacoma child support lawyer works with both paying and receiving parents. We help establish fair support amounts and payment schedules during a separation, assist in establishing paternity so that support can be legally secured, and file enforcement actions if support isn’t being paid on time (or not at all).
We want to make sure your child has a comfortable life and that you don’t have to pinch pennies to support them. When your relationship with your child’s other parent is contentious, we can serve as your primary point of contact to help reduce tension and preserve a co-parenting relationship. From representing you in court to guiding you through your legal options, we handle all aspects of child support on your behalf.
