Discussions about child support can be some of the most difficult conversations to have during a divorce. If you and your spouse are currently going through divorce proceedings, you may be wondering if you need an attorney. Consider these reasons why hiring a Gaithersburg child support attorney is a good idea.
Your Spouse Likely Has an Attorney
Many child support cases become complex, and spouses often hire lawyers in order to make sure that their financial needs are met. If your spouse hires an attorney and you do not, you may regret that decision later.
Lawyers Explain the Process
Choosing to hire a Gaithersburg child support attorney provides you with someone knowledgeable about how support cases work. They can explain support modifications, and necessary documents, and help you understand any legal terms you do not understand. Having someone available to help you understand the actual legal process involved in child support may make the process much less stressful. You may also save time and money by having someone who is familiar with the court processes explain exactly what has to be prepared for each hearing.
You Need Support Modified
Once a child support decision has been made by the court, asking the court to modify the amount issued will not be simple. Whether you are asking the court to increase the amount your child needs or asking the court to decrease the amount you pay due to a change in employment, an attorney can guide you through the necessary steps to increase the possibility of the court siding in your favor.
