Determining Child Support in Virginia
The state juvenile courts determine which parent will pay child support and in what amounts. Several factors determine this, but the primary concern is the well-being of the child or children in question. Child support aims to ensure that the quality of life of your children does not suffer and that they are well taken care of after their parents have separated.
When determining child support, the courts consider many things, including:
- Custody arrangements, parenting time agreements, and/or which parent the child lives with
- Income and income capacity of each parent
- Age of the child or children
- Educational needs of the child
- Insurance, medical and other related costs
- Daycare and additional associated costs
- Any special needs or exceptional circumstances related to caring for the child/children
When the courts are determining child support, it is vital to work with an experienced child support lawyer in Franklin to ensure that all of your paperwork is prepared and filed correctly. A knowledgeable Franklin family law attorney will also help you work with the courts to ensure that your child support order is fair and equitable and that it is genuinely in the best interest of your children.
