A Family Law Firm Ensuring That Your Children Get The Financial Support They Deserve

Philip A. Greenberg, P.C., Attorneys at Law, provides representation to clients in all aspects of family law, including the sometimes-complicated calculations of child support. New York and New Jersey have child support guidelines that use a mathematical formula to assist judges in determining 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
  • Imputation of income for voluntarily unemployed or underemployed 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 substantially equal basis.
