The Immediate Need for Support
As soon as the divorce petition is filed, issues concerning temporary money for child support and spousal maintenance tend to appear. Our lawyers quickly assess a fair and reasonable support amount based on the finances and assets involved in a client's case. Regardless of how complex a client's wealth portfolio, we are skilled in obtaining temporary orders through dedicated negotiation and without the need for a mini-trial. We are, however, always prepared to litigate this issue if necessary.
The Permanent Issues of Support
In high-asset divorce cases, issues of determining net worth and all income sources are complex. Stegmeier & Gelbart LLP is skilled in working with forensic accounts and economists to reveal an accurate portrayal of the divorce estate and spousal salaries. Additionally, we are extremely proficient in obtaining accurate business valuations. Through meticulous analysis, our attorneys are diligent in their pursuit of fair support awards.
Post-Divorce Modifications of Support
When clients or their ex-spouses experience a significant change in their income, our attorneys help them obtain or defend against a modification on their previous child support or spousal support order. We are fully equipped to revisit issues of business valuations and income streams in order to determine a fair modification request, if any.
