Child
Support
is payment by one spouse to the other spouse for the
benefit and support of the child or children
following a divorce. Child Support can be ordered
by the Court even if the parents were never married.
Child support payments typically continue
until the child turns 18 years old.
Child support
cannot be discharged in bankruptcy and is not
considered as income by the receiving parent, nor
considered a tax deduction by the paying parent.
Child support
issues can be extremely complicated and your legal
interests are best served by retaining experienced
legal counsel who will represent you during the
child support proceedings.

The amount of child support that a parent
pays is determined by the Child Support
Guidelines. When calculating the proper child
support to be paid, there are a number of
factors to consider that affects the child
support that is ordered by the court. Some of
those issues include, but are not limited to:
-
The amount of overnights stays of the child with
each parent;
-
The financial needs of the child such as day
care expenses, medical / dental insurance, and
uninsured medical payments; and
-
The current income of both parents.
In the event that circumstances with either parent
significantly change, which may warrant a
post-judgment child support modification,
either parent may file for a modification hearing to
change the existing child support court
order. Modification requests are not typically well
received by the other parent, and are often highly
contested.
