Spousal & Child Support

Fair Solutions for Financial Stability

Financial support is one of the most important issues that arises during or after a separation. At Crouss Law, we understand how essential it is to create support arrangements that are fair, sustainable, and focused on the needs of both parents and children. Our approach emphasizes clarity, respect, and practical outcomes that help families move forward with stability.

Child Support in Massachusetts

Child support is designed to ensure children’s needs are met after parents separate. Payments may cover essentials such as housing, food, clothing, health care, and education. We guide parents through Massachusetts child support guidelines, explain how calculations are made, and help ensure that arrangements reflect both the children’s best interests and the parents’ financial circumstances.

Spousal Support (Alimony)

In some cases, spousal support—also called alimony—may be appropriate to help a spouse maintain financial security after divorce. Courts consider factors such as income, length of the marriage, and the standard of living during the relationship. We work with clients to advocate for fair outcomes, whether negotiating agreements through mediation or presenting cases in court.

Modifications and Enforcement

Life circumstances change, and support orders may need to be updated. We help clients seek modifications when income shifts, jobs change, or children’s needs evolve. We also assist with enforcement through contempt when one party is not meeting their obligations, ensuring that support arrangements remain practical and effective.
