Child Support
If you have children, the State of Maine considers it your obligation to provide for them. Your failure to do so may affect other area of your life – including your freedom and your driver’s license. You may be ordered to seek employment, and unless you have a child under the age of three, you may be required to be gainfully employed. If you are ordered by the court to pay child support, that obligation continues until another order supersedes it. Even if you are not allowed to see your child or children or the other parent tells you s/he does not want to receive child support payments, your obligation to pay child support continues until the child reaches the age of majority or a new order is entered. If the State of Maine pays child support for your children, the State of Maine will consider all payments your obligation to repay. If you refuse to cooperate, you may lose your driver’s license, professional licenses or hunting, fishing and sport licenses, even if you live in another state. You may be jailed for unpaid child support. The time you spend in jail does not extinguish the child support obligation – it only provides you time to think and gain motivation to find the resources to pay the money.

A Power of Attorney is a document by which you appoint and authorize a particular person to act as your Agent (or "Attorney-in-Fact") handle your affairs while you are unavailable or unable to do so. This could be due to overseas military or work assignments, extended travel, or a time when you are physically or mentally unable to handle your affairs.
While your Agent does not need to be an attorney, it is important to select someone you trust. You need to choose someone who will not abuse the powers you grant to them, and who will look out for your best interest. In general, an Agent is only held responsible for misconduct that is intentional, not for unknowingly doing something wrong. Therefore it is important your Agent has maturity and sound judgment.

There is a popular myth that only the wealthy need to worry about Wills and Estate Planning. Nothing could be further from the truth. Lack of proper planning is the fastest way to ensure confusion and disappointment at the time of your death. No matter how slight you believe your assets to be, it is important for you to take the proper steps to protect and preserve them for the use and benefit of your heirs, with minimum taxes and intervention by the legal system. Our firm strongly believes that a wisely drafted, carefully executed Estate Plan is the most critical component for a financially secure future.

Its purpose is to ensure the interests of all involved are protected, beneficiaries, heirs, creditors, and taxing authorities alike.
