Today, the current state of the economy within the United States is one that no one is enjoying. The economy within the past few years are plummeted tremendously due to a variety of aspects. Unfortunately, the economy not only affects our daily lives in a sense of spending and saving, but also affects aspects such as our employment, the cost of living, and our bills. With so many things already being affected by the economy in our lives can you only imagine what else could be while either in the midst of a divorce, or when you are held reliable for child support?
The Matter of Child Support
Child support is one aspect of a divorce, and being a parent that is required by the court of law in order to not only meet another parent halfway in taking care of their child, but ultimately helps enable a child to get the resources they need whether it is new clothes for school, food on the table, payment of their activities, or helping pay for a portion of their healthcare policy. However, today, the economy is not only affecting individuals on a professional level, but a personal one as well including that of child support.
The Issues and Options You Face
Many parents that have been touched by the economy are now paying both smaller, and smaller amounts of child support to their former, custodial spouse, or simply just not paying at all. However, when you do not pay child support you not only are not helping take care of your child, but also putting yourself in a bind legally as well. In most cases, when parents do not pay child support adequately as they should they face serious legal consequences, which can include fines, and jail time.

By contacting an experienced, yet dedicated child custody, or divorce attorney you can expect your rights, and your issues to be taken seriously and presented to the court of law with extreme sensitivity in order to not only help out yourself in these financial hard times, but your child and former spouse as well.
