CALL NOW: 706-548-3933

More Than 20 Years of Experience Handling Child Support Issues Throughout North Georgia

As a child of a blended family, Athens, Georgia child support lawyer Michael S. Brown knows the importance of children being supported by both parents and understands that often conditions and situations change requiring cooperation between parents or, in the alternative, court action to modify child support obligations. Recently, Michael Brown was quoted in a news article, stating:

“People need to and are required by law to support their children. In today’s economy, though, many people are losing their jobs and either not finding new jobs or taking lower-paying jobs. When that happens, parents should work together to agree to a change in child support obligations that are reasonable; but, if they don’t, the person who lost his or her job and makes less money absolutely must hire an attorney to modify the child support obligation before he or she gets behind on child support and winds up with massive arrearages or even in jail.”
