New York Child Support

New York Child support, is on a certain amount to be paid for how many children are being supported by the child support, here is the percentage for how much will be paid from child support, for how many children are involved.
  1. For one child being supported by child support it is 17% of the combined parental income.
  2. For two children being supported by child support it is 25% of the combined parental income.
  3. For three children being supported by child support it is 29% of the combined parental income
 Child support in New York is based on both parents income, how much they make together.  If there are more then 3 children OR the non custodial has other children from a different relationship the courts will have to look at all aspects and how much is being paid and possibly refigure all families.  The percentage of combined income from the parents is the biggest factor in how much child support is to be paid, if the non custodial makes less then the custodial, their percentage may be lower and vise versa.  No family should ever be put in a financial jeopardy.  The courts will sometimes if necessary, say the children do know they want to go to college, the courts will have the parents set aside a trust or fund for some of the child support to be placed in, and sometimes this is important to do anyhow. Child support in New York just like most states allow for a modification of the child support at any time, there are certain factors that can make a child support modification come about.  Here is a list of a few child support modifications.
  1. If either parent has an increase or decrease in their income, this can result in child support being modified to fit the parents and the children’s needs.
  2. If any of the children or child decides to spend more time with either parent, this can result in a child support modification.
  3. The child being several years older can result in child support being modified.
  4. If the child has in special financial needs, schooling or medical expenses this also can result in a child support modification.
 Every state is different on how it handles child support, but as I have said many times over, people need to remember that it is for the care of their children.
