Child support is set using a state-mandated formula, except in cases where both parents agree to deviate. In cases where families do not use the formula, a judge will be charged with deciding the amount of support and other terms of the agreement. Giving the reliance on such a formula, many are surprised to learn that payments often vary dramatically based on a wide-range of factors.

The real work in determining support payments – whether fighting for more or less support – is in arriving at the income that will be used in applying the formula. What evidence will be used to prove income? Will investment income be included? Are there significant forms of bonus compensation that should be included in the calculations? What are the other marital assets?

Our office represents clients in initial child support proceeding and in modification of support both during the dissolution process and post-judgment.
