Child Support

Addressing the Issue of Child Support

For the most part, determining child support is a simple matter of following the guidelines that the law provides. However, the guidelines may not always apply.

At the Law Offices of Richard D. Goff, our attorneys are committed to achieving fair and accurate outcomes in terms of child support. If the case requires that guidelines be followed, we will see that they are applied correctly. If the case involves circumstances that indicate a departure from the guidelines may be appropriate, we will make sure that those facts are properly considered.

Contact us today to discuss your child support case. Our lawyers provide representation to clients in Minneapolis and the surrounding parts of Minnesota.

Covering the Costs of Raising a Child

While it is understood that raising a child is expensive, those expenses may vary dramatically from case to case. A child with medical needs may need more financial support than a child in perfect health. A child attending a private school may have greater needs than a child attending public school.

We work with clients to determine the needs of the child, then we design a legal strategy that takes those needs into account. If deviation from guidelines is necessary, our experience allows us to move forward to obtain the appropriate financial support.

The Relationship Between Child Support and Other Aspects of Divorce

The various issues involved in divorce can not be easily separated as they tend to be interrelated. For example, child support and the amount of spousal maintenance paid may be interdependent.

Our experience means that we have an understanding of how all issues are tied together. When we move forward, we strive for balance. We seek results that are in our clients' best interests overall.

Our law firm brings more than 40 years of experience to every child support case we handle. Contact us today.
