Determining Factors

Many factors determine child support, and there are child support guidelines and worksheets that can be used. However, the amount of child support often varies (or what the statute calls “deviates”) from:

• Each parent’s total income

• The amount of time a child resides with each parent

• The amount of expenses incurred for basic living needs

• The child’s additional needs for healthcare, education, medical bills, disability and more

• Any crucial emergencies that have suddenly occurred that would prevent you from caring for your child or from offering support to the other parent
