Achieving Your Child Support Goals
In Massachusetts, child support is determined by a mathematical formula known as the Child Support Guidelines. This is based on the incomes of the parents, cost of daycare and health-related insurances, custody arrangements and other factors. But determining the required child support amount is not simply a mechanical application of the guidelines. Without experienced and knowledgeable representation, you could end up receiving too little or paying too much child support.

Protecting Your Rights
Mavrides Law believes that, whether you are a payer or recipient of child support, there is no substitution for careful analysis of the family finances and needs of the children in order to secure a fair result.
When the income of a parent changes or another significant change in circumstances occurs, Mavrides Law can go to court to seek a modification in the child support level.
Simple and Complex Child Support Matters
Many child support matters involve a straight-forward application of the Child Support Guidelines. Judges now have some leeway in applying or interpreting facts that impact the application of these guidelines, so skilled representation is essential to protect your rights. Mavrides Law represents your interests in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
Some child support cases can be complex especially when a parent is self-employed, is attempting to hide income, or is intentionally working at a job far below his or her earning capacity. Mavrides Law has access to a network of resources (such as accountants and vocational specialists) that can provide insights and support for your case.
