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 attorney was Michael King for a Custody issue. I was very pleased with his response time, his honesty. When the defense attorney showed up I knew I made a good decision. Michael was ready to go on the day of court while the other side didn't even recognize the defendant. Michael was personable and relatable.- Katrina Wilcoxson
