Child Support
Experienced Nashville, Tennessee, Child Support LawyerChild support is paid by the alternate residential parent to the primary residential parent in almost all cases. Child support is not awarded as a punishment, but rather as a payment that ensures children share in the resources of both parents. At Cynthia J. Bohn & Associates, we are committed to helping parents establish child support payments that are fair, equitable, and in the best interests of the children. Informed Child Support LawyersTennessee's child support laws establish the guidelines used to determine the level of financial support a non-custodial parent will be ordered to pay. While there are a number of factors used to determine support levels, the guidelines are essentially income based. Some of the factors that are considered when determining child support levels include:
Judges have broad discretion to award child support at levels that are in the best interest of children. Judges' views of child support guidelines and what is in the best interest of children can vary. We work closely with you to understand the needs of your children and work to get the support your children deserve. We handle all aspects of child support, including the initial support award and child support modifications. Once child support is ordered, it is normally required to be paid until the child turns eighteen or graduates from high school. Our attorneys have significant experience dealing with the enforcement of child support orders and are familiar with the Tennessee Criminal Laws for the Enforcement of Child Support and the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA).
