How is child support calculated?

Child support is typically calculated using state guidelines that consider factors such as each parent's income, parenting time, healthcare costs, childcare expenses, and the child's needs.

Can child support be modified?

Yes. Child support may be modified if there has been a significant change in income, employment, custody arrangements, or the child's financial needs.

What happens if child support is not paid?

Failure to pay child support can result in enforcement actions such as wage garnishment, tax refund interception, license suspension, or other legal consequences.

Does child support automatically end when a child turns 18?

Not always. The duration of child support depends on state law and may continue under certain circumstances, such as while the child is still in high school.

Can parents agree on their own child support amount?

Parents may reach an agreement, but the court typically must approve it to ensure it meets the child's best interests and complies with state guidelines.

Can child support be ordered if the parents were never married?

Yes. Once legal parentage has been established, either parent may seek child support through the court.
