Medford Child Support Lawyers: Helping Parents Figure Out Arrangements That Put Their Children First

Child support is another issue that can be particularly contentious during divorce or any other type of parental separation. These court-ordered payments made by the noncustodial parent are an essential part of raising a child. The payments are designed to help the parent with primary custody with the cost of raising a child, which can be extremely high throughout New Jersey. Every family is unique, and every child custody case is different, and these situations can be difficult to navigate.

At KG Law Group, we’re here to help you ensure that you and your child’s other parent can come to a fair agreement, no matter whether you’re the parent with primary custody or the noncustodial parent. We can help in a range of different situations, from determining child support during the divorce process to assisting in the modification of an existing agreement or enforcing an existing agreement.

How Does Child Support Work?

There are a few different ways to approach a child support arrangement. In some cases, if both parents agree on terms, they can create their own arrangement with the help of an attorney and have it approved by a judge. However, the majority of cases are more challenging to go through. These situations involve applying for support and negotiating a settlement, still with the help of an attorney.

Our child support lawyers are well-versed and experienced in child custody cases. We focus on helping our clients find solutions and get satisfactory results.

What Are The Main Factors In Determining Child Support?

Each individual’s situation is different, so there is no one-size-fits-all approach to determining the amount of child support you’ll receive. However, there are a few basic guidelines we can follow in New Jersey to get an idea of how much you can expect to help with the cost of raising your children.

A few of these factors include:

• The income of each parent
• Child care expenses
• Cost of medical insurance
• Living arrangements and custody arrangements, if established

These are the most significant factors that we and the judges will consider when determining your support agreement. However, the court can also factor in any other circumstances they consider relevant. Our attorneys will help prep you and thoroughly evaluate your situation so we can come to a fair, equitable arrangement that serves your children the best.
