Working to Put You in the Best Possible Position After Divorce

The amount of the credit is dependent on the number of overnights the child spends with the noncustodial parent over the course of the year. With every case we take, we work to negotiate the most advantageous divorce agreement possible to put you in the best possible position as you move forward with your life.
