Child Support
Both parents must work together to agree on a custody arrangement that provides a safe and supportive environment for your children while also taking your needs into account. Depending on many factors, including the division of parenting responsibilities and your respective incomes, child support may be required to help ensure that your children’s material needs are taken care of from day to day.
Child Support Keeps Your Child Fed, Clothed And Housed
Parents are always welcome to divide child-related expenses informally, but it’s hard to know if each parent is paying his or her fair share under this model. With a lawyer’s help, you can establish a more formal plan that takes into account a wide range of factors, including:
- Each parent’s income before taxes
- Number of overnight visits each parent has with the children
- Which parent is paying for expenses such as health insurance, daycare, braces, school tuition and other costs
