Understanding Child Support Determination

Child support and spousal support (alimony) considerations can play major roles in divorce discussions — and for many years after a divorce is final. Lifestyles can change suddenly, for good or ill, increasing or decreasing the ability to pay support. Primary custodians may not be receiving the amounts of support that were agreed to in a divorce settlement agreement.

Regardless of your specific, unique challenges, our counsel is guided by one primary factor: "the best interests of the child."

Key Factors Influencing Child Support Payments:

Each parent’s income
Childcare cost
Educational cost
Healthcare cost
Extracurricular activities
Number of children
