Child Support
In Maryland, child support is calculated by entering certain numbers, such as income and expenses, into a formula, which is then used to calculate the appropriate amount of support. To ensure that the correct result is obtained, the figures that are entered must be as accurate as possible. Daycare expenses, medical expenses and other extracurricular expenses often are considered by the courts and can be factored into the amount of child support ordered.
Child Custody
Custody is a highly contested issue that is often emotionally charged. Attorney Leo J. Keenan III walks clients through the process of determining custody within the context of a divorce or a situation where the parents have never been married. There are many factors that affect the way in which child custody is awarded, but the most important factor is the best interests of the children. He strives to help our clients keep this factor in mind while pursuing the establishment of a custody or visitation agreement.
Modification
After a child support or custody order has been established by the court, it may take extra work to have that order changed or modified. Mr. Keenan represents individuals that are seeking the modification of a standing order and also help other clients fight the changes that the other parent may be seeking.
