Advocating Your Child’s Best Interest

There are numerous factors that need to be considered in determining the exact amount of child support payments.

• Some of these factors include:
• Health insurance for the children
• Medical expenses
• Childcare costs
• Other various expenses

As your Manhattan child support attorneys, we can help you understand your rights as well as your children’s and fully explain to you the computation process of child support.

Determining the Amount of Child Support Payment

The court determines the amount of child support by basing it on a percentage of parents' income.

• Here are the typical percentages most parents pay:
• 17 percent if you have one child
• 25 percent if you have children
• 29 percent if you have children
• 31 percent if you have children
• At least 35 percent if you have five or more children

Keep in mind that these figures are only a reference and several other factors can come into play when determining the exact amount of your child support.
