Buffalo Child Support Lawyer Reviews Court Considerations for Child Support

As an experienced Buffalo Child Support Lawyer I am consistently asked about court considerations for child support. Parties entering into a divorce are generally concerned about what is child support, who’s going to be paying child support, and how the court is going to determine what child support is going to be paid. That is provided for in a statute in New York State law, the Child Support Standards Act. The Child Support Standards Act looks at the respective incomes of the parties and how those incomes relate to each other and then how many children the parties have. There’s a calculator that’s going to provide how much support is going to be paid. The Child Support Standards Act also provides for deviation from those amounts based upon a long list of certain factors. It’s important to sit down with your attorney and ask the specific questions in your case. Your attorney will be able to advise you a range of what you might expect to either pay or receive in child support.
