COVID-19 MAY AFFECT YOUR ABILITY TO MEET CHILD SUPPORT OBLIGATIONS The economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting millions of Americans. Divorced or separated parents may be especially worried about providing financial support to their children through this pandemic. If you simply can’t afford child support don’t just stop making payments, because you’ll start to accrue arrears and could be subject to contempt of court, jail time, and other enforcement actions.... You must pay until a judge changes your child support order. Start by asking your child’s other parent to agree to modify child support. If you are successful, you can ask a judge to turn your agreement into a new order. Because of COVID-19, family courts are temporarily closed except for emergency matters, like restraining orders. However, you can still file your stipulation with the court by leaving it in a drop box for the court to consider and process. If you can’t agree, you’ll need to file a motion to modify child support with your local court. Your court might schedule a telephonic hearing and have your matter heard. We can help.

We are hoping for the best during these uncertain times, but we urge our family and friends to BE PREPARED with the legal documents you need to protect your loved ones. Specifically applicable to the current COVID-19 situation are the Durable Power of Attorney and Advanced Medical Directive. The Durable Power of Attorney (or Financial Power of Attorney) is a document that allows an individual that you name to act for you in financial matters if you are unable to make decisi...ons yourself. The Durable Power of Attorney is usually limited to that time you cannot make decisions (temporary injury/incapacity). The Advanced Medical Directive (also known as a Medical Power of Attorney) functions the same as the the Durable Power of Attorney, but is limited to medical decisions. For these documents, we can help by providing free consultations, either over the phone or by video. If we prepare these documents for you, we can have them signed and executed safely and without unnecessary risk of exposure. PLEASE CALL IF WE CAN HELP.
