Understanding Child Support

Income Shares Model

Most states use the Income Shares Model, which calculates support based on both parents' combined income and the estimated cost of raising children.

Factors Considered

Courts consider income, number of children, parenting time, health insurance, childcare costs, and other extraordinary expenses.

Modifications

Child support can be modified when there's a significant change in circumstances, such as income changes or custody modifications.

Legal Assistance

Consider consulting with a family law attorney to understand your rights and ensure accurate calculations based on your state's specific guidelines.
