at The Law Firm of Wayne F. Crowe, Jr., P.C. can assist you with virtually
any type of child support matter.
How Is Child Support Decided & Calculated?
Some people wrongly assume that everyone qualifies for child support payments,
no matter the situation. However, family courts actually have a specific
way of calculating who pays child support, how much they will pay, and
for how long. In most cases, child support is given until the child turns
21, but this can vary depending on the circumstances. We can meet with
you to ensure you understand what to expect out of the child support calculation process.
A few of the factors which determine how much child support will be paid include:
- The child's financial needs
- The child's educational and health care needs
- If the child has any special needs
- The income and earning capacity of each parent
- The education level and health of each parent
