Creating Effective Parenting Plans
Few things matter more to most people than their children and family. Raising kids can be tough in the best circumstances, but if you are also resolving legal matters with another parent, you need someone else who can help you.
Whether you are establishing child custody or child support arrangements, or if you are modifying existing orders, an experienced lawyer can protect your rights and look out for the best interests of your children throughout the process.
At William R. Pike & Associates, LLC, located in Marietta, we offer clients throughout Cobb and Paulding Counties (and surrounding counties) the counsel they need in family law matters. We are committed to helping you create a parenting plan that addresses the unique needs of your situation.
Child Custody
If you are creating a parenting plan, it is important to understand what the courts lean towards in custody matters. Typically, joint legal custody is preferred, though primary physical custody for one parent is still preferred by the court. We represent clients who are establishing child custody plans in marital and non-marital situations.
Child Support
In Georgia, child support guidelines are based on a state-mandated formula, We help clients understand the factors that influence child support payments, including
- Each parent's income
- Cost of health insurance premiums
- Daycare expenses
When we meet with clients, we give them a preliminary estimate of how much support they might pay or receive. Schedule your free initial consultation with an experienced attorney by contacting us online or by calling 678-564-0199.
