San Carlos Child Support Lawyers

During a divorce, some spouses tend to focus on their own interests. However, parents must put the interests of their children first. Though you may be discussing the amount and extent of spousal support with your soon-to-be-ex, a separate conversation will involve the amount of child support that each parent provides. Child support is determined based on each parent's income and time spent with the children. You may be required by law to pay child support regardless of whether there is shared custody.

Child support continues until your children are emancipated or reach the age of 18, or age 19, if still in high school. One of the main factors in determining the amount of child support that you are expected to pay is your income. If your income changes significantly, you may need to file a petition to the court to change the child support order to reflect your new income.
