Child Support

Grand Rapids, Michigan, Child Support and Divorce for Men Attorneys

At Gordon & Shaw, PLC in Grand Rapids, Michigan, we represent the best interests of our male clients who are involved in a divorce. We will also ensure that you know your obligations when it comes to child support.

Child Support Calculations

Many divorcing fathers wonder what their child support obligations will be. If you are not the custodial parent and have to pay child support, we will explain the formula that determines your obligations. While the child support calculator has strict guidelines, there are exceptions to the rules.

Child Support Modifications

Child support orders can be modified depending on the custody arrangement and how often your children are staying with you overnight. Any expenses, including health insurance, play a part in determining the appropriate support amount as well.

Overcoming Assumptions

Gordon & Shaw, PLC is a law firm that was established to defend the rights of husbands and fathers during divorce proceedings. Assumptions are often made about what men are entitled to following a divorce and those assumptions are usually wrong. While it is a father’s obligation to support his children financially, the calculations and modifications were set up to prevent financial hardship on the father.

If you are uncertain about the amount of your child support obligation, or perhaps, you are paying too much, an aggressive lawyer focused on the rights of men can help you. For more information, or to schedule an appointment, please contact Gordon & Shaw, PLC.
