At the Law Office of Jeffrey G. Hester in Pelham, Alabama, we handle cases involving child support matters for married and unmarried parents. Obtaining a child support order that provides for necessities is very important to give your children the resources they need to grow and thrive. If you are ordered to pay child support, it is important that the amount is reasonable and fair considering the individual circumstances of your family.
You need a knowledgeable, dedicated child support attorney who will aggressively fight for your rights and protect the best interests of you and your family. Birmingham child support attorney Jeffrey Hester will listen until he understands your circumstances and advise you on your options under the law. In Alabama, statutory guidelines set forth the amount of child support to be paid and received. The combined gross incomes of both parents are considered by the court while setting the amount of child support.

In addition to handling cases where child support is negotiated between parties or ordered by the court, child support lawyer Jeffrey Hester accepts cases to enforce child support that has previously been ordered. It is important to know that child support is always modifiable and that can mean an increase or decrease. If the court finds that a parent has quit a job or reduced his or her work hours to pay less child support, the court may determine an amount that parent should be able to earn (called imputed income) and order child support based on that imputed amount.
