Child Support Considerations

The courts evaluate child support payments and responsibility for those payments based on a variety of factors. Mostly, it will be based on the child’s needs, the child’s livelihood prior to the parent’s divorce or separation, and how much each parent can contribute.

Other factors may include the following:

• Each parent’s respective income
• The cost of health insurance
• Daycare costs
• How many children the couple shares
• The amount of time each parent can spend with the child

Typically, child support is paid until the child turns 18 years old, although can continue until the child reaches 21 or beyond under certain circumstances. Parents still have a chance to modify the terms of the child support agreement after a significant life change has occurred. This can be anything from losing or gaining a job, to relocating, or other circumstances that may make it difficult to continue paying under the current terms.
