An Experienced Family Law Attorney on Your Side
Some key factors come into play in calculating the amount of child support that one parent must pay to the other. These include:
- Physical custody of the child
- The number of minor children in each case
- The monthly after-tax incomes of each parent
- Additional child-rearing costs such as school- and health-related expenses
Some things to remember: The primary custodial parent has the child for more than 50 percent of overnight stays, thus, he or she is entitled to child support. If a “shared custody” agreement exists in which the child spends half of his or her time with each parent, then the parent who earns less income is entitled to child support.
We will steadfastly represent you at domestic relations conferences to ensure fairness.
