How can you reinstate child support arrears

The information the lawyer gave me was very helpful letting me know that she was very surprise that the judge signed off taking the arrears off and that he cannot do that because the money is for the child/children so at this point I have to file for a ot emotion

Simply the BEST!

Simply put, Jeney & Jeney is one of the best law firms around. My family and I can't thank Carol and her team enough for their professionalism, attention to detail and sage advice. They genuinely care about their clients and work diligently to provide you with the best advice and representation pos...sible. They genuinely advocate for their clients. We owe them a tremendous amount of gratitude. Carol advice regarding custody and child-support matters, we unmatched. Carol, thank you and your team for everything! You're simply the best!

Everything you look for in a lawyer!

Carol Jeney represented me in my divorce and I was really impressed with the dedication and compassion she gave to my case. All my questions were answered promptly by her and I felt she was very honest and helpful. She made a difficult time bearable. I recommend her highly.

INTEGRITY

Carol represented me when my ex husband decided to unilaterally decrease my alimony. She was great! She followed the law and used all relevant case law. She was up against another attorney who is very difficult to deal with and she was not intimated at all. Carol is very well respected by everyone ...in the family law division. Judges and other attorneys have nothing but great things to say about her. I have referred her to many of my friends facing similar issues. I would use her again in a heartbeat!

Above and Beyond the Call of Duty

I retained Carol Jeney after a horrible experience with a previous attorney. She is not only professional, honest and dedicated, but is kind, caring and goes "the extra mile" for you. I would highly recommend her to anyone going through a divorce, which is an extremely painful time in life, espec...ially when children are involved.
