Child Support: Filing A Claim
The Problem: Do You Need Money to Support Your Child?

Your children’s needs must still be met. Therefore, it is important to obtain child support and Delta can help you to help your child!

The Solution: The Delta Process!
Delta has a four step process to solve your legal problems.
Delta Evaluates Your Situation.
We will evaluate your current custody and financial situation, including you and your ex’s income, medical insurance coverage, transportation costs, housing arrangements and child care costs. We will determine if you need an emergency child custody order. We will question you in order to determine how things stand with you and the other parent so that we can try to arrive at a child support arrangement that is best for you. Most importantly, we will determine if you need funding for child support litigation.
Delta Creates a Plan of Action.
We will develop a plan of action to deal with your needs in a number of areas including financial support, medical insurance coverage, day care costs, schooling costs, transportation costs and housing costs. This plan may include filing for child support, spousal support, emergency child custody and other requests for relief from the court. Many times we can work with the other parent and/or other parent’s attorney to amicably resolve these issues without court action. Delta’s goal is to avoid time consuming and costly fighting in court and allow you to transition into an acceptable custody arrangement. However, Delta is well equipped to fight in court if necessary because of our experienced attorneys and low operating costs. This potent combination gives you an edge in that you will have the staying power to prosecute you claims in court should litigation become necessary.
Delta Executes the Plan.
We execute the plan of action, with your assistance. Good plan execution is important and may include:
- Negotiating with the other parent and/or other parent’s representative to complete a child support agreement. In the case of divorce, we may create a Settlement Agreement that addresses all of the related issues including spousal support, child support, child custody and property distribution.
- Filing emergency petitions in court for interim child custody orders, filing for child support and negotiating custody agreements.
- Attending child support hearings.
- Representing you throughout the child support process including filing motions in court, arguing motions in court, performing legal research and attending hearings.
Delta Works With You to Help Fund Your Plan.
We will work with you to create an affordable funding plan to help ensure that you can pay for child support litigation should it be necessary.
