If you'd like, you can schedule an initial consultation and we can talk about it. I work in Scott and Dakota Counties

For example, if based on the child support calculator, your wife should be paying you $500 a month for your son and you should be paying her $375 a month for your daughter, then the final result would be for her to pay you $125.
