In a child custody matter or a divorce where there are children, the court requires each parent to provide adequate financial means to care for the children until they reach the age of 18. Furthermore, a judge may order one or both parents to pay some percentage of support. Your divorce lawyers may decide to not request child support, but the judge may require a significant reason as to why child support should not be awarded.
The divorce lawyers in our office have developed a child support calculator. This calculator quickly and easily accounts for the percentages, formulas, and caps that you may encounter during your custody hearings.
However, there are exceptions to the standard calculations. For example, special needs children may require greater financial support. These calculations may be modified by the judge for reimbursement of medical bills, health insurance premiums, and other necessary expenses.
