Child Support in Michigan
For the most part, the level of child support a parent may be required to pay is based on Michigan state guidelines. These guidelines are formulas for determining amounts based on the incomes of the parties, the amount of time a child spends with each parent (including overnight visits) and the cost of other expenses, such as health care or schooling.
Child Support Modifications and Enforcement
If your circumstances vary from the "norm," we may be able to assist you in modifying the amount of support your child receives. Child support agreements are not etched in stone, but are modifiable upon a substantial change of circumstances. This applies to all circumstances involving children -- nothing is fixed because it always can be adjusted to the ongoing changes in lives of the children. The only applicable waiting period for a modification is the length of time a parent has been a Michigan resident before he or she files.
We also can help if you need to enforce child support payments from a former spouse or you are contesting any unpaid or late payment accusations.
