Rhode Island Child Support Lawyer

Child support levels in Rhode Island, like in most states, are most often determined according to a formula contained in state guidelines. The formula considers a number of variables including each parent's gross monthly income and expenses related to raising the child such as health care and education costs when establishing financial child support levels.

The formula allows for little variation, so therefore it is very important to make sure that all variables are appropriately accounted for. Determining income, for example, can be a challenge in situations where one of the parents is a small-business owner or independent contractor. Having an experienced Rhode Island child support lawyer on your side is crucial. I have a team of investigators that I rely on to help ensure reported income levels are accurate and all financial factors are accounted for fully and fairly.
