Child Support Lawyers
Child support is an integral issue in Washington State family law actions. For parties with children getting divorced in Washington State, child support must be determined before a decree of dissolution may be entered. At McKinley Irvin, our child support attorneys have represented thousands of clients in establishing and enforcing child support obligations. Our Washington state child support lawyers, Seattle child support lawyers and Bellevue child support lawyers make support for children a clear priority.

Our Seattle family law attorneys and child support attorneys have substantial experience in proving income to set Washington State child support obligation levels. Our child support lawyers handle cases where incomes are difficult to prove due to unemployment, underemployment, or where income is otherwise not easily determined. Our child support attorneys are also experienced with cases where one or both parties have extraordinary incomes.

Child Support Enforcement
Sometimes a Washington State child support order needs enforcing. At McKinley Irvin, our child support attorneys have handled thousands of Washington State child support enforcement actions, contempt actions, and have negotiated and litigated on behalf of parties seeking back support judgments, as well as those defending against such actions. While a child's well being cannot be reduced merely to the amount of financial support he or she receives, supporting a child at a level that is fair to all of the parties is important to a child's growth and development. Washington state child support law reflects this basic policy.

Washington State child support law also provides for the payment of expenses other than just daily needs. Our child support lawyers represent clients in cases involving post secondary educational support, education expense contributions, extraordinary expense payments, support deviations, and travel expenses. We are also familiar with cases brought by the state through the prosecutor's office or the Department of Child Support.
