Re: Divorve proceedings

The child support guidelines take into account each of your incomes (or earning capacities), child care expenses, health insurance cost, and prior child support paid.

Of course, there are other financial issues that you must address, such as distribution of the marital assets and debts and the possibility of alimony/spousal support.

These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.

If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
