Custody And Access

Child Support
Child support is determined based on federal guidelines, which looks at the annual income of both parents and the number of children. While the guidelines are fairly straightforward, it is important to have a lawyer on your side who can explain the details of the guidelines. At Martin Sheppard Fraser LLP, we also assist our clients with the legal issues surrounding Section 7 expenses. This involves additional payments that can be negotiated based on outside activities such as sports, medical costs and more.
