- Monthly costs of day care, school, health insurance and other expenses for the child
- The number of children being supported

At Amy M. Levine & Associates, we have extensive experience representing the interests of clients engaged in disputes over child custody. We will conduct a thorough review of all necessary financial information and aggressively advance your position.
