Find out how much child support you should receive

Highly knowledgeable about child support guidelines

In New York, determining the amount of child support to be paid is a straightforward procedure when a judge follows the statutory guidelines for child support. The guidelines presume the amount of child support that you should receive; however, in some cases, judges don't follow these guidelines.

The child support guidelines now applies to the first $148,000.00 of combined parental income. However, the trial Judge still retains a great deal of discretion to apply the formula or deviate out of the formula. You want an attorney who is familiar with the deviation factors and is experienced with the Judges.

Calculating child support

The amount of child support to be paid takes into account the gross income of the non-custodial parent and the number of children to be supported. The court also considers the income of the custodial parent. When there is joint custody and parenting time is split 50/50, more complex rules come into play.
