Child Support- Frequently Asked Questions

Whether a child support order is being determined on a temporary basis or as a Judgment order,  child support is always calculated using a computer program. The factors that affect the child support calculation the most are the income of the parties and the timeshare they each have with the children.

If you have been served with a Request For Order asking the Court to order you to pay child support, you must complete, serve and file a Responsive Declaration, Income and Expense Declaration, and, typically, a financial document exchange.
