Practice Areas | Child Custody / Support

If you find yourself in a custody or child support battle, Groth & Associates understands the complexity of issues surrounding custody and child support cases.

Custody cases most often involve a mother and father fighting for legal custody rights for the child. In some instances the custody issues may arise out of the parents of the child becoming divorced or it can involve parents of a child who are not legally married. Custody cases can involve one parent fighting for full custody of the child or it can involve a shared custody/shared parenting agreement between the parents. Custody issues may also be brought up from grandparents of the child or another provider as well. Custody cases may also use the services of outside professionals such as social service workers or psychologists to determine the best interest of the child involved.

Child support is monetary compensation from one parent of a child to the other parent who is considered the main caregiver for the child. Child support is used to financially support the child and pay for things that the child needs. A child support agreement can also stipulate who pays the medical bills for the child and who is going to pay for college tuition once the child graduates high school.

Custody and child support cases are sensitive cases due to the fact that children are involved. Groth and Associates will stand behind you to protect your rights as a parent in both child support and custody related matters.
