Caring for children with disabilities demands a nuanced approach, especially in legal matters like child support. At Johnson/Turner, we deeply understand these complexities. Our dedicated team ensures that child support arrangements fully consider your child’s unique needs. We delve into the specific requirements of your child, whether it’s specialized medical equipment, unique educational needs, or necessary therapies. Our goal is to ensure that the support provided is not just adequate but truly tailored to enhance your child’s quality of life.

Calculating Support: Going Beyond Standard Formulas

Child support calculations are generally straightforward, but cases involving children with disabilities require a more detailed approach. Recognizing this, courts often adjust the standard formula to encompass the additional costs associated with caring for a child with a disability. This might include specialized transportation, unique dietary needs, or even home modifications. Our experts at Johnson/Turner guide you through these complex calculations. We work tirelessly to ensure that every necessary expense is accounted for, advocating for a fair and comprehensive support plan.

Long-Term Financial Planning for Children with Disabilities

The journey of supporting a child with a disability often extends well into adulthood. We understand the importance of long-term planning in these situations. Our team assists in setting up “Supplemental Needs Trusts” and explores other estate planning tools to ensure ongoing support. We discuss options like guardianships and conservatorships, ensuring that your child’s welfare is safeguarded even as they transition into adulthood. Our comprehensive planning approach provides peace of mind, knowing that your child’s future is secure.
