Family Law Support
What a Child Custody Lawyer Considers
Our lawyers take into consideration that both parents are required to support the children financially during a separation, regardless of where the children live. In saying that, parents can come to a private agreement regarding the amount of child support to be paid, if preferred.
Alternatively, one parent can apply to the Child Support Agency (CSA) for an impartial assessment. The CSA helps parents to determine an appropriate level of child support for children under 18 years of age and can also assist with the transfer of payments between parents if required.
To determine support payments, the CSA uses a complex formula which considers:
- Both parents’ income,
- The time each parent spends caring for the children, and
- The general costs associated with raising the children.
If you’re looking for more information, or you need assistance in navigating such a process, a The Law People child support lawyer is here. You may also check potential child support obligations by using the CSA’s calculator.
