Child Support Under New York State Law
In New York state, child support is determined by a series of guidelines listed out in the Child Support Standards Act. Under the guidelines, child support is based on the adjusted gross income of the non-custodial parent but, in certain circumstances, courts will deviate from the guidelines and award more support if necessary. Courts may also take into account the money needed for weekly child support, day care, education costs, health insurance and medical expenses.
The best way to get the child support outcomes you need is to work with an experienced lawyer. At Silver, Forrester, Schisano & Lesser, P.C., we have been representing families in child support matters for years. We represent families using practical advice that keeps children's interests in mind during this emotional time.
Alimony/Spousal Maintenance
Spousal maintenance (often called alimony) isn't awarded based on specific guidelines. Usually, a grant of spousal maintenance is based on things like disparity between the incomes of one spouse and another, the length of the marriage, the health of each spouse and ability of each spouse to earn income in the future.
