Every child has a legal right to financial support from both parents. Navigating the state guidelines and ensuring that support is calculated accurately requires the help of a dedicated child support attorney. At Tighe and Jenkins, LLC, Alexis Tighe works with both custodial and non-custodial parents to ensure that child support orders are fair, accurate, and in compliance with the law. We understand that financial stability is a key component of a child’s well-being, and we are committed to ensuring that your child receives the resources they need for education, healthcare, and daily living.

A child support attorney plays a crucial role in identifying all sources of income for both parents. This can be straightforward in the case of W-2 employees, but it becomes much more complex when a parent is self-employed, receives bonuses, or has investment income. Alexis Tighe is meticulous in the discovery process, ensuring that no income is hidden and that the court has a true picture of each parent’s financial situation. We also account for the costs of health insurance, childcare, and extraordinary expenses, ensuring that the final child support order is comprehensive and sustainable.

Circumstances often change after a divorce or initial custody order is finalized. If a parent loses a job, experiences a significant increase in income, or if the child’s needs change, a child support attorney can help you seek a modification of the existing order. Alexis Tighe guides you through the process of proving a “substantial change in circumstances” to ensure that the support amount remains appropriate. We also assist with enforcement issues when a parent fails to pay their court-ordered support, working through the legal system to ensure that obligations are met.

Financial disputes can often reignite the conflict between parents. As your child support attorney, Alexis Tighe works to keep the focus on the child. We provide clear explanations of the state’s formula and help manage expectations regarding the likely outcome of your case. At Tighe and Jenkins, LLC, our goal is to reach a resolution that provides for the child’s needs while being fair to the parents. We believe that by handling child support matters with professionalism and precision, we are helping to ensure a more secure and predictable future for your children.
