Child custody and support issues are typically among the most stressful, difficult aspects of getting a divorce, and the point upon which most couples cannot reach a mutually agreeable solution. Even after the order is made, changing circumstances may call for an amendment to the original order, which may be another major point of contention. To handle these and many other issues, the Michael A. Newland Law Office in Hamilton, OH, recommends contacting a child support attorney.

An experienced lawyer can provide a wide range of benefits, including:

• Experienced Guidance: When drafting an agreement, your child support attorney will guide you through the process, ensuring that both your rights and those of your children are respected. Whether you're the custodial parent or will be paying support, your legal representative will also help you develop realistic expectations about the amount of support you're likely to pay or receive.
• Objectivity: When the welfare of their children are at stake, many people find it difficult to curb their emotions and concentrate on finding fair, reasonable solutions that ensure everyone is treated as fairly as possible. An effective child support attorney will help you stay focused and avoid escalating disputes out of anger and hurt feelings.
• Amending Orders: If you or your former spouse have experienced a significant change of material circumstances, have decided on a new custody arrangement, or find yourselves in any other situation that may call for an adjustment of child support, your attorney will represent your interests in a manner most likely to succeed in court.
