A: I understand you're dealing with complex family law issues related to child support, back pay, and custody arrangements. It's essential to address these matters carefully to ensure the best outcome for you and your family. You can start by gathering all relevant documents, including court orders, payment records, and any communication with the other parent.

When it comes to child support and back pay, it's crucial to know your rights and responsibilities. If you're owed back pay or need to enforce a support order, there are legal avenues available to help you recover what you're entitled to. On the other hand, if you owe back support, you might be able to work out a payment plan or negotiate a modification based on your current financial situation.

For custody arrangements, consider what's in the best interest of your child. Whether you're seeking to establish a new custody agreement or modify an existing one, it's helpful to document your child's needs and how you can meet them. Keep open lines of communication with the other parent if possible, and don't hesitate to seek legal advice to navigate these challenging issues effectively.
