Child Support

Child support is the monetary value that goes to help provide your child with food, clothing, shelter, education, babysitting/daycare, transportation, and even extra curricular activities.

How is Child Support Calculated?

There are many factors that go into calculating child support. Some of the key factors are:

  • Each parent's average weekly income
  • Cost of health insurance
  • Cost of work related child care
  • The amount of overnight parenting time each parent will be credited with

  • Other factors can be included such as the amount of daily or weekly involvment that each parent has with the child(ren)
