Most parents will place their children’s needs before their own; they will seek to find and create opportunities for their children which may not have been available to them when they were younger. Unfortunately, when a couple decide that divorce is the only option it can be difficult for the parent with custody to provide access to the same number or level of options. It is also often the case that the child support arrangements are not in the best interests of the children. This will be because the two partners are busy trying to resolve all the complex issues involved with divorce and one will simply get tired of the stress and length of time taken to resolve things. Consequently they will accept terms which are not the most desirable.

This is where a local law firm, such as The Law Offices of Peter J. Russo in Harrisburg, PA (http://www.pjrlaw.com/Practice-Areas/Child-Support.shtml) can step in and assist you to understand the various child support options and relieve you of the stress by undertaking all the processes on your behalf. There are many questions which need to be raised and answers found when dealing with child support issues:

• Who is currently the main guardian and will they continue to be so?
• What is their financial contribution to the marriage and their earnings potential, taking into account the fact that they care for the children?
• What level of financial support is desirable and what is affordable allowing for the living costs of both parties?
• Will the partner with custody remain in the marital home?
• What are the likely future costs of the children’s education or healthcare and is this relevant to the level of financial support which needs to be provided?

It is essential to have the best advice possible when dealing with this sensitive issue. Child support is both financial and emotional; it is essential to the development of your children and is for the long term. As many other factors of the divorce are to ensure things are ended on an even footing, the terms of child support are actually the most important part and you must use a local law firm to give you the best advice possible.
