Calculating Support When One Parent Has No Income

First know that both parents are legally responsible for supporting the kiddos—not just the parent who pays support. With a few exceptions, if one parent does not have income, the Court will impute full time income to that parent before calculating maintenance or support.

Judge Rules Halle Berry’s Daughter To Stay In USA

On Friday, November 9, a judge ruled against Halle Berry moving four-year-old Nahla to France with fiancé Olivier Martinez.

Gray Divorce: The Growing Trend

No one was really shocked when Kim Kardashian filed for divorce.
