Brooklyn Family Law Attorney | Serving New York and New Jersey
New York and New Jersey have child support guidelines that use a mathematical formula to assist judges in making child support awards. While the guidelines are fairly straightforward, there are a number of unique issues that may make child support calculations complex, including:
- High-earner child support issues
- Child support deviations for cases involving special circumstances
- Imputing income to voluntarily unemployed parents
- Cases involving children with special needs that may involve higher costs of care
The guidelines for New York and New Jersey are distinct. For example, the amount of overnight parenting time (visitation) each parent has in New Jersey is an important component for calculating child support. In New York, parenting time is not as critical, but may play an important role in cases where the parties split parenting time on an equal or substantial basis.
