Judges base custody rulings on what serves the child’s welfare, considering factors like each parent’s involvement, the child’s routine, and overall stability.
Courts typically calculate support amounts using state formulas that account for both parents’ earnings, time spent with the child, and the child’s financial needs.
Bring any legal paperwork, written agreements, and an overview of your income, assets, and expenses to help us understand your situation.
