Child
Support
Law
For
parents
going
through
a
divorce,
the
security
and
welfare
of
their
children
is
usually
the
primary
concern.
To
ensure
that
your
spouse
is
held
legally
responsible
for
their
parental
obligations,
it’s
important
to
retain
a
competent
lawyer.
We
here
at
the
Law
Office
of
Dennis
M.
Schuster
are
highly
knowledgeable
in
all
aspects
of
family
law,
and
we’ll
help
you
grasp
a
clear
understanding
of
your
rights
and
responsibilities
during
this
emotionally
charged
time.
We
will
do
everything
possible
to
reach
a
fair
agreement
that
ensures
the
well-being
of
all
children
involved.
Typically,
the
parent
who
is
not
awarded
primary
custody
is
responsible
for
providing
the
custodial
parent
with
financial
support
for
the
care
of
the
child.
Payments
are
usually
made
on a
monthly
basis.
The
court
orders
the
child
support
based
on
several
factors:
-
The number of children requiring support. Child support payments will increase with the number of children needing support.
-
The division of custody between the parents. For the non-custodial parent, support payments will generally increase with a lower percentage of visitation time.
-
The annual income of each of the parents. Ordinarily, the court will order support based upon the annual income of both parents.
It’s
important
to
remember
that
when
a
court
orders
child
support,
the
ordered
amount
is
not
set
in
stone.
Modifications
can
be
made
at a
later
date
to
adjust
the
amount
of
the
payments
to
account
for
changes
in
income
or
employment
and
the
child’s
evolving
needs.
Retaining
a
competent
family
law
attorney
can
help
you
to
obtain
a
fair
court
order
and
ensure
prompt
receipt
of
ordered
payments.
Spousal
Support
Law
Historically
referred
to
as
alimony,
spousal
support
describes
money
paid
by
one
spouse
to
another
during
and
after
a
divorce.
We
here
at
the
Law
Office
of
Dennis
M.
Schuster
are
highly
experienced
in
the
area
of
spousal
support,
and
will
work
to
help
ensure
that
a
fair
and
advantageous
settlement
is
reached.
The
amount
of
spousal
support
decreed
by
the
courts
can
vary
widely.
Many
different
factors
are
taken
into
consideration,
including:
-
The income and occupation of each spouse
-
Any investments, pensions, or ancillary incomes
-
The length of the marriage
-
The prior standard of living to which each spouse was accustomed
-
Any history of abuse in the marriage
If a
spousal
support
order
is
justified,
it’s
important
to
consult
with
a
competent
family
law
attorney
to
ensure
that
an
appropriate
and
fair
order
is
reached.
We
here
at
the
Law
Office
of
Dennis
M.
Schuster
are
highly
experienced
in
the
area
of
spousal
support,
and
we
will
do
all
we
can
to
reach
a
fair
and
equitable
result.
