CHILD SUPPORT HEARINGS
Protecting Your Rights and Establishing Fair Visitation Plans
If you’ve been served notice of a child support hearing date, it’s time to take action to protect your rights and ensure that your financial contributions and visitation plan are fair. At Angela Faye Brown & Associates, we understand that these hearings are about more than just determining how much child support you’ll pay—they’re also about securing your role as a parent and establishing a robust, enforceable visitation plan. Our team is here to guide you through this process, ensuring that your interests are fully represented and that the outcome supports both you and your child.
What Are Child Support Hearings?
Child support hearings are legal proceedings where the court determines the financial support one parent must provide for their child following a separation or divorce. These hearings take place in a specialized court that focuses on family law matters, and they are crucial for setting the terms of both financial obligations and visitation rights.
If you’ve received a notice with a hearing date, it means the court is preparing to make important decisions about your financial responsibilities and your time with your child. At Angela Faye Brown & Associates, we’re here to ensure that the outcome is fair and that your parental rights are protected.
Why Child Support Hearings Matter
Child support hearings are critical for establishing a fair financial arrangement, but they also play a crucial role in defining your relationship with your child. Here’s why these hearings are important and why you need to be prepared:
-
Ensuring Fair and Accurate Contributions: The court will review your financial situation to determine how much child support you should pay. We’ll work with you to ensure that all relevant factors are considered, including your income, expenses, and any special circumstances. Our goal is to make sure the support amount is fair, reasonable, and reflects your true financial situation.
-
Establishing a Fair and Robust Visitation Plan: One of the most critical aspects of a child support hearing is the establishment of a visitation plan. The court will decide when and how you can spend time with your child. We’ll advocate for a visitation schedule that ensures you have meaningful, consistent time with your child. A fair and enforceable visitation plan is essential for maintaining a strong parent-child relationship.
-
Protecting Your Parental Rights: Child support hearings are an opportunity to assert and protect your parental rights. The court will consider both financial and custodial matters, and it’s crucial that your voice is heard. We’ll ensure that your contributions are balanced with your rights as a parent, advocating for a parenting plan that allows you to be a consistent presence in your child’s life.
-
Contesting DNA If Necessary: If there are any doubts about paternity, this hearing is also the time to address them. We can help you contest DNA results if necessary, ensuring that all aspects of your case are thoroughly examined before any support or visitation orders are finalized.
-
Securing Long-Term Stability: By addressing both financial and parental rights in the child support hearing, including a fair visitation plan, we help set the stage for long-term stability. This is about more than just making payments—it’s about ensuring that your relationship with your child remains strong and that your financial contributions are managed in a way that allows you to continue supporting your child over time.
