Child & Spousal Support

Determining the proper amount of monthly child support payments is not a simple or easy process.  Many different considerations should be taken into account, and as every family situation is different, there is not  a “one plan fits all ” approach.  Agreeing on either Child Support, or Spousal Support, commonly known as alimony, can be an extremely difficult and emotional  experience for both parties involved. Often these decisions take a long time to reach agreement, and may be modified in the future.

Support payments are intended to be a way for both parents to accept responsibility and contribute to the care and raising of the child. Even if one parent has sole custody of a child, the other parent may still have some financial responsibility.   A support amount will be assigned to them to help pay for the child’s living expenses.  To establish the amount of child support payments, two main considerations must be taken into account.  First is the current day to day and future long term expenses of each child in the family.  Generally, payments will have to made until the child reaches the legal age of 18 at minimum. Some of these expenses include the child’s education, health insurance, day care, food and clothing.
