The questions surrounding issues of child custody and support are often at the forefront of our clients' minds during a divorce. We take the issues of child custody and support very seriously, and we recognize how crucial it is for parents to make sure their expectations are met.

Child Support

The state of Alabama uses Rule 32 to determine child support. In most cases, which parent will pay and how much they will pay isn't an issue up for much negotiation or debate. It is calculated by using a fixed method, and courts usually don't deviate much from the result.

Having an experienced lawyer on your side can help you to fine-tune and occasionally work around complications that may arise from the results of Rule 32. We have been practicing in the family courts for over a decade and can use that experience to help you avoid complications or potential pitfalls.

Child Custody

In battles over custody and visitation that go beyond the typical Schedule A ruling (visitation every other weekend and some holidays), the state of Alabama gives great attention to child psychology professionals to help determine custody issues. We can use expert witnesses to help bolster your case so that you have every opportunity to obtain the custody arrangement you think is best for you and your children.

At Ham & Associates, LLC, we can also take immediate action to acquire temporary child custody during the divorce proceedings.

In issues where child custody will be a contentious issue, our strategy is to forcefully advocate for your rights in order to meet your expectations. When it comes to your children, can you afford not to fight?
