Establishing and Enforcing Child Support Orders
Our experienced attorneys at Willick Law Group have a wealth of knowledge in helping clients establish child support orders. Mr. Willick was the delegate sent by the Nevada Chapter of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers to advise the current Child Support Commission of improvements that could be made to Nevada’s guidelines. We will guide you through the process, ensuring that the appropriate calculations are made to determine fair and reasonable support payments.
Additionally, we are dedicated to enforcing existing child support orders, making sure payments are made on time and in full. We wrote the software used to calculate arrears, interest, and (where applicable) penalties. We created a calculator for current support calculations as well. If modifications to the child support order become necessary due to changed circumstances, we are here to assist you.
Navigating Child Support Interest & Penalties
Understanding the legal consequences of failing to pay child support is essential. Our team at Willick Law Group can help you navigate the complexities of interest and penalties associated with child support payments. We have the expertise to calculate and explain when these consequences may apply, ensuring you have a clear understanding of your rights and obligations.
