Families Count on Spousal and Child Support

It is a reality that a quarter of children in the United States live in a single-parent household. Coping with the variation in financial stability can present unexpected challenges to single parents. In an attempt to avoid a courtroom, couples may try to negotiate payments on their own. Unfortunately, matters of money are rarely that simple. To ensure your family's stability through spousal and child support, it is best to consult with an attorney to obtain, enforce, or modify a support Order. PA support laws make it fairly simple to determine support; however, there are some instances that may allow some departure from the guidelines. If financial circumstances change, there is flexibility to adjust the plan to accommodate. If the child's needs have changed or the paying parent has different circumstances, either parent may petition for modification. Often, custody can play a major role in determining any increase or decrease in monthly child support payments. Also known as spousal support, alimony may be either a temporary plan or permanent plan. During the separation, a spouse may be benefitted by alimony pendente lite. Following finalization of the divorce, a judge can award alimony for a specific period until the spouse can become self-supporting. Typically, spousal support or alimony pendente lite award is combined with child support.
