Attorney Karen Taylor has years of experience handling a wide range of family law issues, including child support and child custody. She can review your case and determine the best way in which to pursue a resolution that takes into consideration your needs, goals and the requirements of your children.
Child Support
In Iowa, the amount of child support that is to be paid is determined by a set of statute-driven guidelines. These guidelines detail a formula that is to be used when calculating child support. Some of the types of numbers that are used in this formula include the income of both parents, health care costs, day care costs and other child-related expenses.
Child Custody
Child custody is one of the most argued matters between parents. Each parent wants as much time with his or her children as possible. There are many types of custody that may apply in a case, such as joint custody (which refers to decision-making capabilities resting with both parents), physical custody (which refers to where the children physically reside) and sole custody (which refers to the physical custody and decision-making capabilities resting with only one parent). We can assist you in determining which type of custody to pursue. Our firm also helps clients seek child visitation rights when custody is not ordered.
Modifications
When a parent experiences a drastic change in circumstances, such as the loss of a job, there may be grounds upon which to file for a modification in child custody or child support orders. We can assist you in seeking a modification or attempting to prevent a modification from being granted.
