Child Support Lawyer | Columbus Georgia

A disparaging reality of economic life is that once the family unit is divided, the resources and incomes are divided in half as well in addition to the increase of overall expenses. This, in turn, lowers the standard of living in which the family has become accustomed.

As a result of these combined factors, the court oftentimes must alter the child support in order to accommodate the child's changing needs, in addition to enforcing court orders against parents who either refuse to pay child support, or cannot afford to make payments. The family law attorneys at the Law Offices of Scot Sikes will negotiate child support agreements that are in the best interests of the child and at the same time, appropriate for each parent's financial and personal circumstances.

Columbus GA Custody and Visitation Lawyer

The matter of child custody, especially a child custody dispute, during a divorce is one of the hardest and most contentious elements of the proceedings.

The legal terms, custody and visitation, are established by the court and dictate which parent the child will reside with and the arrangements in which the child will visit the other parent. Here in Georgia, the law does not show consideration to either the mother or the father; instead they evaluate the relationship the child has with each parent. Although grandparents and other individuals may seek custody of the child, the natural parents are typically favored over anyone else.
