Child Custody and Visitation

When deciding issues involving minor children, courts make decisions based on what they feel is in the best interests of those children. Courts consider a variety of factors in custody and visitation cases, including the number of children and their ages, the parents’ work schedules, family history, parental involvement, and other family circumstances.


Child Support

Herrenkohl Law Office understands not only the laws in a custody case, but also the precedents and legal environment of the court. We will work with you to decide on the best strategy for your situation, such as sole custody, joint custody, shared parenting or another customized option.

Child Support

Child Support is based on both parents’ income, time spent with each parent, the division of child care expenses, and other extenuating circumstances. Herrenkohl Law Office will help you determine the best outcome and will fight for an award that is fair and equitable to you and your children.

Spousal Support

While specific laws exist concerning support for children, spousal support, alimony is much less defined. Prior legal precedence plays an important role in determining what support, if any is provided. The courts will consider such factors as the family’s standard of living, as well as working arrangements prior to the divorce.
