Child Support Attorneys in New York

Respected Family Law Firm in Brooklyn Heights & New York, NY

Child support is awarded by the courts so that a child has the financial support of both parents. It is typically to be paid by a non-custodial parent to a custodial parent. However, it can also be awarded in a joint custody case when one parent’s income is significantly higher than the other parent’s income, or when the child spends more time at one parent’s residence than the other's. Child support payments are to be paid until a child turns 18 or longer, if there are medical needs or educational needs which need to be addressed. A non-custodial parent most likely will be ordered to provide health insurance for their child as well when child support is awarded.

Child Support Guidelines in New York

In New York, there are specific guidelines that outline how child support should be calculated. The child support amount will depend upon the financial needs of the child, both parents’ incomes, other children present within the paying parent's household, lottery winnings, taxes, investments, government benefits, healthcare benefits and other financial obligations or income. Once child support is ordered by a judge, it will be enforced by the courts and a child support enforcement agency. The amount of the child support ordered can be modified at a later date if a parent's circumstances change, if necessary.
