The Lawyers You Deserve Pursuing The Best Possible Resolutions

Knowledgeable Guidance Through Child Support Matters

Child support levels can cause serious financial difficulties when they are set arbitrarily. Child support guidelines are generally used to assure that a child’s basic necessities are met. However, many people fail to report all income, which can have a significant impact on the calculation. Other people do not wish to work to their potential. Other factors such as health insurance, work-related day care and expenditures for other children must be considered as well as issues such as:

  • The ability to claim your child as a tax dependency exemption, which can be an important part of the child support order
  • The payment of uninsured medical expenses, which can impact a parent’s budget without the proper apportionment between parents

There is often little room for variation from the child support levels determined by the formula. This makes it very important that the proper information and numbers are examined and utilized for income determination for small-business owners and independent contractors.
