What Remedies Are Available To A Father If He Believes His Child Support Order Is Unfair?

Unless previously ruled by a court of law, fathers have the same parental rights as mothers in regard to their children, and those who believe they are a product of an unfair or biased child support ruling, regardless if they have joint or sole custody, are encouraged to contact a child support litigation attorney who can inform them of their legal rights, and discuss options of recourse that might be available. An experienced child support attorney can request a child support modification order to the court, based upon the legal applicability of specific circumstances that may have been disregarded or misrepresented in the initial court ruling. Parents who need to contest a current child support order, including child support payments or visitation rights, please search the LawInfo attorney directory of Lead Counsel Members to find skilled child support litigation attorneys in your area.
