Child Custody ● Child Support ● Paternity ● Visitation

At Michael R. Miller, Attorney at Law, P.C., our extensive family law experience includes handling the following issues:

• Child custody
• Visitation
• Child support
• Post-decree modifications
• Enforcement actions
• Adoption
• Attorney General child support cases (in which the Attorney General pursues delinquent child support)
• Paternity

Post-Decree Modifications

The terms of a divorce decree relating to chidren are not etched in stone. If your circumstances have changed, you may be able to ask the court to amend the terms of the decree. For example, as your children grow the cost to provide for their needs increases may help justify a raise in the level of child support you receive may be in order. We'll help you file a request for an appropriate modification on any issue from your divorce decree.

A change of circumstances may also justify a change of custody, visitation schedule and even who provides medical insurance.

Enforcement Actions

If your ex-spouse is failing to live up to the agreement order in your divorce we can help pursue court action to help ensure that the order is respected. If your ex-spouse has refused to pay the required amount of child support, there are measures you can take to enforce the support order. We can initiate an action to have your former partner's employer withhold the child support from his or her paycheck.

Paternity

If you have a child who was born outside of marriage, before you can request a child support order from a court, you must establish the biological father's paternity. We'll file a paternity action on your behalf to get a court to require the alleged father to submit to DNA testing. If his DNA samples and the child's samples match, a court will declare him the child's legal father, with all the rights and obligations that entails including the duty to support the child.

If you're the biological father and want to assert your parental rights and establish a bond with your child, we'll initiate a paternity action on your behalf. We also represent men who seek to challenge paternity suites.
