Family Law & Child Support On Long Island
Now that you and your spouse have decided to end the marriage, it’s important for both parents involved in this process - the divorcing couple - to ensure that their children are taken care of financially. Unfortunately, there can be difficult challenges in resolving child support issues. These challenges are often due to the fact that the disputes are typically emotionally charged and are between former partners who were once close friends or lovers (or even life partners).

What Is Child Support?
New York State law requires both parents to provide their children with financial support in the form of child support until they are 21 years old; unless they are emancipated earlier. The amount each contributes is contingent upon which party is awarded custody, the child's needs, as well as ability-to meet financial obligations; these requirements makes it extremely important to seek experienced legal representation.
Divorce is often difficult for everyone involved, but it is even more so when there are children involved. Divorce laws in New York are designed in part to protect the parties children and to allow the parties to maintain their pre-divorce lifestyle as best they can with the expectation that both parents will share financial responsibility.
The Supreme and Family courts in New York State calculate child support based on a number of factors:
- The income of both parents
- The number of children who need financial support
- Existing child support agreements
- Maintenance that is owed to a former partner
- Support obligations to other dependents Dental, medical, educational, and other child care expenses
- Visitation rights
