Columbus, Ohio, Child Support and Alimony Attorneys
The family law attorneys at Edward F. Whipps & Associates offer in-depth legal guidance on significant issues of spousal and child support. We have many years of experience that helps us give knowledgeable advice paired with compassionate support and forceful action for our clients.
Spousal Support/Alimony
When it comes to issues of spousal support (sometimes called alimony), Ohio courts have a great deal of discretion. Judges look at specific factors to determine the amount of support owed. At Edward F. Whipps & Associates, we do an in-depth consultation with our clients that helps answer their questions. Working closely with you, we can help you predict how Ohio law may affect you:
- If support will be awarded at all
- The amount of spousal support that may apply in your situation
- How long the spousal support will last
Child Support
In a divorce, Ohio courts determine the amount of child support owed by looking at child support guidelines to do a mathematical calculation. The court has the right and discretion to deviate from the guidelines, but circumstances where this occurs are limited. If you are looking for a deviation from the child support guidelines, it is best to have the help of a strong advocate.
When your needs — or the needs of your child — change, our experienced lawyers can also assist with matters of child support modification.
