Attleboro Child Support Lawyer
Helping Clients in the Greater Boston Area with Family Arrangements
Whether their parents are going through a divorce or were never married, children deserve to be supported by both of their parents. Child support payments are designed to provide for their well-being. In Massachusetts, the amount of child support required is set by state statute, and these guidelines are to be followed in nearly all situations.
If you are dealing with a child support issue and need assistance, turn to skilled Attleboro attorney Brian D. Roman. With more than 20 years of experience in the area of family law, Mr. Roman is highly knowledgeable about the state child support guidelines. He can take the time to explain these to you and help you understand how they may apply in your specific situation.
To discuss your questions and concerns regarding child support, contact Attleboro child support lawyer Brian D. Roman today by calling (508) 576-5922 or contacting us online.
How Payments Are Calculated
There is a specific formula that is used when calculating the amount of child support to be paid.
Numbers that are entered into this formula include:
- Income of the parties
- Number of children
- Physical custody arrangements (such as the number of hours spent with the children)
Other factors may be considered, though these are the major aspects that contribute to the amount of child support that is ordered.
In some cases, an extreme life change such as the loss of a job may warrant an alteration to the amount of child support being paid. Any modification of child support must go through the courts and be approved.
Other Expenses
Though child support is set by a state statute, there are other factors that may be considered when determining the amount of child support, such as:
- Medical expenses
- Daycare expenses
- College expenses
- Extracurricular activities
Often, additional child support can also be arranged. For instance, a couple may agree that one party contributes a certain amount toward college expenses, even though officially ordered child support payments end at age 18 or after high school graduation.
Mr. Roman is well-versed in all of the language that must be documented during any deviations from standard child support orders. He is able to advocate for his clients and ensure that the needs of their children are being met.

Attorney Roman represented my son in a very sticky situation where he was arrested (wrong place at the wrong time). The major charges were dismissed with only a misdemeanor. It was the result that we were hoping for, and it was resolved quickly and efficiently. Most importantly, Mr. Roman was consistently available for consultation, returned calls, and gave solid advice and counsel. I am so very grateful for his high level of professionalism and his depth of experience and knowledge of the local courts. I give him 5 stars plus with the highest level of recommendation.- Jody

On July 14, 2016 I contacted Brian D Roman regarding an outstanding matter in Attleboro District Court located in Attleboro, Ma. Brian and I spoke at great lengths via telephone. I am a lifelong resident of the beautiful state of New Jersey, Cape May County to be a bit more specific.
Brian advised he could handle my case and has had prior experience dealing with similar cases, in the exact same Court. I retained Brian to handle the case prior to the conclusion of our initial telephone call.
Today, July 20, I received a priority mail express envelope in my mailbox. Inside the envelope was all court documents indicating the matter has been dismissed.
I would like to express how thorough, honest, and knowledgeable Brain was on the matter and the specific court. His years of experience definitely saved me a trip to Massachusetts. I have never been to Massachusetts, but should the day arise within the near future I will definitely like to personally meet and thank Brain D Roman.
At the conclusion of our initial telephone conversation, your mission was to have the matter dismissed. It should all be noted, Brain contacted me on a regular basis, providing status updates until the matter was resolved. You accomplished your mission and I'm proud to say, Job well done,Anyone needing legal representation in The Attleboro, Mass area, Look no further than Brian D Roman.

Brian represented my son involving a major accident. Up front, Brian was compassionate and he had clearly done this before. He spent time interviewing various stakeholders including my son. I was impressed with the strategy we pursued and how he clearly outlined what was being accomplished and upcoming steps. He provided us with things we could get and do to improve our chances in court. So, we were involved which helps to feel like progress is being made! Finally, Brian was able to use his relationships to help us with court officers, follow-up and ultimately a favorable verdict. Thank you Brian!- Marcus

I got charged with possession of a firearm a week after I got hired for a local police. I knew I was wrongly charged and with all the paperwork to prove that I was wrongly charged every attorney I spoke to tried to overtly charge me and told me that my career would most likely be over and that I can potentially face jail time.. some didn’t even look at the evidence that proved my innocence. I spoke with attorney Roman and he reviewed my paperwork and evidence and I told him about my job and told me that I could get it dismissed… within 2 weeks my case was dismissed with an apology from the court house and now my life is back to Normal. I know that things shouldn’t be about race but as a black man I really felt that everyone turned against me and thought I was guilty except attorney Roman and I will forever be grateful for him. So I would recommend him to any and everyone.- Mike

Brian was very kind and compassionate when it came to handling my case but he showed a diff side when it came time to negotiate with my former employer. He was a fierce advocate on my behalf and made sure that I was compensated for harassment that I experienced. He is a beast and I would recommend him to anyone. He is well versed in many diff areas of the law!- Former Client
