Most requests for child support are made when a party files for a divorce or files a petition to establish custody. A party seeking only to receive a child support award with no request for a custody determination can file a Petition to Establish Child Support. However, often times, an existing child support amount needs modified due a change in income or a change in the child’s residential schedule. A Petition to Modify Child Support is the document used to request a change in child support.
Following graduation, Alyson co-founded Ambler & Dotson, LC, a law firm located in Lewisburg, WV. She began a general practice of law, focusing primarily on family law and estate planning. During this time, Alyson discovered that the needs of her clients varied greatly and there is no “one-size-fits-all” in the practice of law. In order to address these differences and better suit the needs of every client, Alyson offers limited scope representation, as well as, traditional full service representation in the area of family law.
Power of Attorney
A power of attorney is a written declaration concerning who will make decisions on your behalf in the event you are unable to make decisions for yourself. A medical power of attorney designates who will make your medical decisions and a durable power of attorney will designate who makes decisions regarding your property. The authority granted in a power of attorney is effective only during your lifetime.
