The amount of support is determined using a guideline formula that looks at a number of factors including, number of children requiring support, percentage of time the children reside with each parent, gross income of each parent from all sources, health insurance payments, and childcare costs. The guideline formula is determined by each individual state and the District of Columbia and varies from state to state.
Carolyn Goodman is a family lawyer who focuses on negotiated settlements in an attempt to resolve the issues that arise when the marital relationship breaks down. Ending a marriage is traumatic, and the process can be very overwhelming. Each case is unique and requires an experienced attorney who can provide a creative and skilled approach to the law.
A Separation and Property Settlement Agreement allows a client to maintain personal control over the outcome of his or her situation. It is a detailed contract which contains an agreement based on the rights and obligations of both the husband and the wife with respect to all issues related to the marital relationship.
A Prenuptial or Premarital agreement is an agreement made between two people who intend to be married and wish to determine various property and support rights in the event the marriage ends in divorce or death. It provides a way to resolve these issues in advance to avoid disputes if the marriage ends in divorce and to simplify matters if a spouse dies.

I can't recommend Carolyn enough. When I first reached out she got back to me right away, and remained available and responsive throughout. She is one of the most meticulous and rigorous attorneys I've worked with, ensuring everything's dealt with in the most direct, transparent, but also the warmest of ways. Outstanding service from start to finish.

I cannot recommend Carolyn Goodman enough! I have been working with her since 2019 when my ex-husband and I initially separated, she helped draft a very thorough and clear separation agreement and helped with negotiating the terms. She was thoughtful and honored my wishes, while informing me of what I was entitled to, she translated exactly what I wanted into legal terms in the agreement. After a brief reconciliation my ex and I decided to divorce in 2021--almost 2 years later and Carolyn and this agreement were a saving grace! I was able to reference the agreement throughout the divorce and make

I chose Carolyn to be my attorney after an initial phone consult with her. She was compassionate, detail-oriented, and clearly extremely knowledgeable and experienced. In retrospect, hiring Carolyn was the best decision I made as I prepared to pursue my divorce.
While divorce is an undeniably stressful and upsetting experience, talking through logistics with Carolyn each time I had a question put my mind at ease. She is very responsive and demonstrates exceptional follow-through on every task (she patiently explained the steps to file in the court even while the court was closed due to covid19

I found Carolyn by way of her online reviews and I am so grateful that I did. I had actually consulted with another Attorney before meeting Carolyn and the experience left me very anxious. Carolyn deserves more than 5 stars.
Personally, from my first phone call with Carolyn, she put me at ease. She laid out the process in a way that I could understand and gave me a list of information to pull together - whether or not I chose to hire her. I am so glad I made the choice to work with her. Carolyn balanced being very empathetic to my emotional state and also bringing the focus back to the matter

Carolyn Goodman not only lives up to but also exceeds the supportive, thoughtful and vigorous representation as mentioned in her bio! She was my champion during this difficult period of my life. She was always available (I can't stress this point enough) and she was very understanding and extremely knowledgeable and professional. She thoroughly explained each step of the process to me and got me past every hurdle.
Carolyn is a true advocate for her clients and her work is a perfect representation of that dedication. I highly recommend her!

I reached out to Carolyn Goodman when it came time to put together a postnuptial. I can't overstate how great it was working with Carolyn. From our initial consultation she was always very patient with my questions, I never felt rushed to get anything done, and she always gave me in-depth and thorough responses. At no point did I not feel confident in her responses or recommendations, and she always laid out all the options. All in all, working with her from beginning to end was such a pleasurable experience for a process that often is not easy - however her advice most definitely lead to

Carolyn was my saving grace during my divorce. She was there whenever I needed her to answer questions, and provided through guidance and wise counsel. She fought for me when i lost the will-power to fight for myself and did it all with integrity and strength. She always made time for me, even with my difficult schedule and made the process as easy as it could possibly be. She was there until the very end and even beyond--when I needed follow-up counsel on executing the agreement post court proceedings to ensure I was taken care of. Carolyn is truly one of the most skilled and dedicated attorneys
