Grand Rapids Child Support Lawyer

Providing Quality Representation at a Fair Price

Child support matters are one of the most complex family law and divorce issues as they involve your children and your finances. Whether you are seeking child support from the other parent of your child or you want to ensure you are not asked to pay more than required, our firm can help. With more than a decade of experience, our Grand Rapids divorce lawyer at The Wealthy Street Law Firm can assist you with virtually any type of child support matter.

How Is Child Support Decided & Calculated?

Some people wrongly assume that everyone qualifies for child support payments, no matter the situation. However, family courts actually have a specific way of calculating who pays child support, how much they will pay, and for how long. In most cases, child support is given until the child turns 21, but this can vary depending on the circumstances. We can meet with you to ensure you understand what to expect out of the child support calculation process.

A few of the factors which determine how much child support will be paid include:

  • The child's financial needs
  • The child's educational and health care needs
  • If the child has any special needs
  • The income and earning capacity of each parent
  • The education level and health of each parent

    "My Lawyer is Sharper than Yours!"
    I am thrilled to be able to leave a rave review of my attorney Lee Coppage. Not only was he sharply dressed and his appearance spoke business but his expertise and manner in which he takes over a courtroom was amazing. I was always satisfied to know that he would definitely get my point across and my voice would be heard through him (loud and clear) every single court appearance. He helped guide me through the worse time of my adult life. I was emotionally flustered and extremely concerned about my children and their wellbeing. Lee was supportive, knowledgeable and extremely patient with me. Several times I had emotional breakdowns and the staff in Mr. Crowe's office was very respectful and tolerated everything. It was a long year for me but I am proud to say that I made the best decision by hiring the office of Wayne Crowe Jr and blessed by having Lee represent me in court during this custody battle. I am extremely satisfied with the service provided to me.

    "Lee Coppage is amazing!"
    Lee Coppage is an absolute Lion in court! When I first saw this fresh-faced and young Attorney I had a moment of doubt until I heard him speak in Court and to opposing Attorney. He was fearless, articulate, forceful, and didn't hesitate to make himself heard. After 3 years of court dates, I believe this circus would have continued if not for him. Thank you Lee, you are my hero!!!
