Family Court is Not a Family-Friendly Placeby Lisa Marie Macci, Esq. EXCERPT: Today, if the child(ren) stay with the mother, they may experience a far declined standard of living because of the replacement of realistic spousal support awards with amounts established pursuant to the child support guidelines.
