Protecting the Children's InterestsAttorney Michelle Christie often serves as a guardian ad litem (GAL). This is a court-appointed position, designed to represent the interests of minor children during divorce proceedings. As a GAL, Ms. Christie makes recommendations to the court and plays a major role in the final decisions regarding child custody and child support. A GAL is not always necessary to the divorce proceedings. Our firm strives to keep children out of the middle of contentious proceedings. Child CustodyA shared parenting plan is often the most advantageous for everyone involved. Shared parenting plans allow for parents to share physical custody, and both parents to have an equal say in making decisions. These decisions can be about school, health care, and even extracurricular activities. Child SupportChild support payments are calculated based on the gross income of both parents and the relative expenses of raising the children. The expenses include medical insurance, health care, child care expenses, and other needs. Unmarried ParentsUnmarried parents can face paternity issues, which lead to the need for genetic testing. When paternity is established, a parenting action is filed in juvenile court and guidelines are established regarding child custody and support and other parental rights.
