Re: my kids

These situations are not that unusual, where the non-custodial parent makes false allegations to try to get custody of the children and/or avoid paying child support. If you believe the allegations to be untrue, then the best thing you can do is to hire an attorney to protect your rights.

These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.

If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
