Child support is paid by the non-custodial parent to the custodial parent. The non-custodial parent will pay a percentage of their gross income (minus some limited deductions) to the custodial parent in child support payments. From your gross income, you can deduct: (i) any New York City and Yonkers local taxes withheld; (ii) the FICA (Social Security, Medicare) taxes you pay; (iii) any maintenance (alimony) paid to a prior spouse; and (iv) any child support paid for children from a prior relationship.

The Badanes Law Office Will Calculate Your New York Child Support Payments

Our Long Island child support attorney, David P. Badanes, Esq., will assist you in calculating your child support payment amounts. Once your deductions are taken from your gross income you will get your “Child Support Net Income”, this is probably more than your actual net income (take-home pay). Once your “Child Support Net Income” is computed, the amount of money you pay (or receive) depends on how many children you are supporting.

The Child Support Standards Act (CSSA) states the guidelines of how much you will pay in child support. The percentages are:

line

17%

1 child

line
line

25%

2 children

line
line

29%

3 Children

line
line

31%

4 children

line
line

at least

35%

5 or more children

line

If you settle your divorce, you and your spouse can agree to more or less then the child support CSSA standards. There could be several factors that could influence whether you can negotiate more or less child support payments. The Badanes Law Office will help you identify these factors.

When Your Income Changes, Call The Badanes Law Office Child Support Attorneys For Help

What happens if after your divorce (or after you are awarded child support), you lose your job or your ex now makes more money than he or she used to? If you lost your job and you are paying child support, you may be eligible for a reduction in your child support obligation. If you are receiving child support, you may be eligible to receive more child support payments.

To change the amount of child support (you are paying or receiving), you must show the Court that there has been a change of circumstances (or in some instances a significant change of circumstances) since your divorce. The Badanes Law Office has the experience and knowledge to help you gather the facts and present your case to the Court.

“I went to another lawyer for my divorce and was told it would take 6 months for it to be final. 3 years later, I decided enough was enough and went to David to take care of it. David told me the divorce was not filed properly the first time and that we would have to start over. We were told again it would be done in 6 months. His knowledge of the process gave us the comfort that this time it would be handled properly. After 6 months as promised, my divorce was final without issues. We are so pleased to have an attorney who delivered what he promised. David is very competent, and I would recommend him highly to friends or family without hesitation.”
