Massachusetts Child Support Attorneys
Child Support and Educational Expenses
Child support orders are all about fairness. Individual judges have differing opinions on what is fair when it comes to ordering parents to pay for a child's college tuition and other educational expenses. Some prefer a fifty-fifty split; others believe the responsibility should be proportional to income. Having a lawyer on your side who knows the courts and the judges can be a tremendous advantage.
Time is of the essence. Massachusetts family court judges want you to deal with the question of who will pay for your child's educational expenses in the initial divorce and child support agreement.
In fact, it is difficult — if not impossible — to come back to the issue of college or other educational expenses after the divorce and child custody orders have been finalized. Only an experienced attorney can help you understand and pursue your options if this is the case.
That is why it is so important to have the guidance of an experienced Massachusetts child support lawyer from the very start. At the law firm of RA JAWORSKI PC, our team understands the law and the courts and can help you avoid making a potentially costly mistake.

If you have already filed for divorce or are seeking to modify previous child support or education related orders and you need experienced representation in these matters, your initial consultation will be free.
Child Support and Health Insurance Benefits
Court orders regarding child support include a provision that determines which parent is responsible for maintaining health insurance for the child in question. Support orders will also define the extent of the coverage and who will be responsible for medical and dental expenses that are not covered by insurance.
At RA JAWORSKI PC, our team of experienced attorneys can help you ensure that your child's well-being is protected by negotiating or litigating a fair and workable child support and insurance coverage arrangement.
The new Massachusetts universal health care law is certain to affect how health insurance benefits are covered in child support orders. To discuss your particular case with an experienced lawyer at RA JAWORSKI PC, please contact our offices in Danvers today.
