Washington Child Support Lawyers

Child support is recognized by almost all family lawyers as being the most widely disputed legal matter within families.  Of all the family law issues, child support never fails to evoke deep conflict and struggle.  A financial payment intended to support children from a previous marriage or relationship, child support is usually paid by the non-custodial parent to the custodial parent on a monthly basis.  The money from child support is supposed to be used to pay for the child’s everyday needs, such as food, clothes, schooling, medical expenses and other basic needs.   

Many parents feel that they should not have to pay child support and their reasons for believing this are endless.  Some individuals deny that they are the biological parent in order to avoid paying child support, in which case the court will order DNA testing to prove relation to the child.  In these situations, DNA test results will need to be provided before an individual will be legally obligated to pay child support.  If you have reason to believe that you may not be a child’s biological parent, and as such, are not legally obligated to provide child support, you will need a Seattle father’s rights attorney to represent you during this time. 

Paternity issues frequently arise in child support cases because many times the father’s biological relationship with the child can be questioned.  If you have been acting as a child’s father but have recently discovered that you may not be the biological father of that child, paternity will need to be established before you will be held legally responsible for financially supporting that child.  If you are a father and are experiencing any problems or challenges regarding child support, either paying it or obtaining it, a Seattle father’s rights lawyer can provide you with experienced representation.  Having worked with many fathers experiencing difficulties with child support, our attorneys know exactly what to do to improve your situation.
