When you’re getting divorced, you can make a tough time easier for yourself and your children if you work with the other parent to agree on a custody plan and child support. If you can’t resolve these issues, you’ll have to head to court and ask a judge to decide for you.

Either way, Nolo’s Essential Guide to Child Custody & Support can help. You’ll learn:

how negotiation and mediation can keep costs down and improve future dealings with your ex
where to find your state’s child support guidelines
how judges make custody decisions
how to enforce and change custody and support orders
how court trials work
how Covid-19 is affecting custody arrangements and family court hearings, and
when you need a lawyer and how to work with one.

You’ll also find specifics about each state’s laws, including what factors courts consider when they rule on custody arrangements and what happens when one parent wants to move away with the children.
