  • Using Parenting Time to Lower Child Support
    Jul 2 2025

    One of the most common concerns we hear from clients is when a parent seems to seek more parenting time—not to build a stronger bond with their children, but to reduce their child support payments.

    In this episode, two experienced family law professionals break down:

    • How increased parenting time can impact child support
    • What courts consider when evaluating parenting schedules
    • Red flags that may indicate the system is being misused
    • How to protect your rights—and, most importantly, your children

    Whether you're navigating a custody arrangement or concerned about your child’s best interests, this conversation offers clarity, insight, and practical guidance.
