Child Support

The purpose behind child support is to make certain that the education, support and care costs for a child are covered. The process for determining how much should be paid needs to be fair, however, and the ability of both parents to cover the costs for the child needs to be taken into account.

There are a number of attorney general guidelines used in determining how much child support should be paid when taking into account a number of considerations. Under the guidelines, a judge will consider:

  • The numbers and ages of the children
  • Income of each parent
  • Education costs
  • Day care expenses
  • Standard of living prior to the divorce
  • Health and medical care needs

While these guidelines can be helpful, every situation is different and the needs can vary. Sometimes changed circumstances can prevent parents from raising their children in the manner that they wish and child support orders will need modification.
