As per these Guidelines, child support is based on the paying parent’s annual income and the number of children the support is to be paid for.
Custody & Access
Determining suitable parenting arrangements can be a difficult task for the separating parents. We assist our clients through these difficult times and help navigate the complicated legal process of child custody and access.
