• Child Support

The experienced attorneys at Goodwyn Law Firm are pleased to assist clients throughout the Columbia area in child support matters. Our attorneys have extensive experience with all child support matters, including:

Establishment of child support in divorce proceedings
Calculations for child support
Motions for modification of child support
Motions to enforce a child support order

If you are a parent and believe that you are not receiving sufficient child support, we can perform a child support calculation on your behalf. If you are a parent and believe that you are paying too much child support, we can review your case and advise if a motion for a modification of child support is warranted.

• Child Custody/Parenting Plans

In every divorce in which the parties have children and in every paternity action, the parties must address the issue of legal custody, parenting time and child support.

Legal custody and parenting time are based on the “best interests of the child”.

At our law office in Columbia, SC, we offer effective legal representation in all custody and parenting time disputes, including those that arise during a divorce, after a divorce or in a paternity proceeding. We are strong advocates for parental rights and have extensive experience in the negotiation, mediation and litigation of child custody disputes. We are also pleased to assist clients with the negotiation and drafting of parenting plans.

• Spousal Support

Spousal support, also known as “alimony”, can sometimes be one of the more difficult determinations to be made in the divorce process. There are tax consequences that need to be taken into account as spousal support may be included as income by the “payee” or person receiving the support, and may be deductible by the “payor” or the person paying the support. However, certain requirements must be in place before this becomes effective.

While there are guidelines in place for spousal support on a temporary basis, long-term support is usually decided by balancing one party’s needs against the other party’s ability to pay. Various factors are taken into consideration, including the length of the marriage, the standard of living enjoyed during the marriage, contributions that each spouse has made to the family, the educational level of each spouse, the earning capacity of each spouse, and other relevant factors unique to your situation. Very often the support is agreed upon by the parties and included in an agreement that the parties sign before finalizing the divorce. Goodwyn Law Firm can assist you in determining the appropriate level of support for your situation, and can employ the services of a vocational expert or financial expert when needed.
