Child Support
Child support is paid by one parent to another in order to assist with the expenses related to raising a child. It is recommended that both parents obtain legal representation in child custody and child support matters. The child support formula is based on several factors, including:
- Incomes of both parents
- Number of children
- Child care expenses
- Health insurance costs
- Number of days the child has with each parent
Spousal Support
Spousal support is paid by one spouse to another upon divorce or separation. The spousal support formula takes numerous factors into account, including:
- Lifestyle during the marriage
- The duration of the marriage
- Marital assets
- Separate property
Support Modifications
The lawyers at Wolcott Rivers Gates can also assist you in support modifications, which can be obtained after a material change in circumstance, such as a job loss, change of income, disability or relocation.
