Child Support

By definition, child support is a periodic payment presented to the custodial parent from the non-custodial parent. The child support payment will help with the children's living expenses such as food, clothes, school tuition, medical expenses, and other debts that may be incurred.

The amount of the child support payment is based upon the non-custodial parent's current income, according to The Child Support Enforcement Act of 1984. The parent's income includes monetary assets (stocks, bonds, certificates, etc.), welfare or medicaid benefits, occupational wages, and savings. The custodial parent's living expenses, as well as the standard of living before the divorce is also added to the calculation. The child/children's living expenses, including health insurance, tuition, day care expenses (if applicable), and clothing are figured in, too. The non-custodial parent's ability to pay plays a factor in the final judgment.
