At The Law Offices of H. Dyke N. Spear, Jr., we firmly assert your parental rights and pursue a course that benefits you and serves the best interests of your children.
However, the reality of the Hartford family law situation is that the average middle-class person can't afford a custody fight.

The first thing to recognize about child support is that, although it is paid to the ex-spouse, it is not viewed as part of a maintenance award to the ex-spouse.
In other words, an ex-spouse does not have a right to child support; the child has an independent right to be supported by his or her parents.
Likewise, child support is separate from any distribution of the marital property.
So, in the case of a high net worth divorce, even when the custodial parent receives enough in assets to comfortably raise the children, the non-custodial parent may still have a duty to contribute to the children's maintenance.
