Long Island Child Support Lawyer

Child Custody Attorney in Long Island, New York

Child support is greatly influenced by the determination that the court makes regarding child custody. Once custody has been determined, child support is typically determined by an established formula which calculates child support amounts based off of percentages of the parents' combined total income, after social security and New York City taxes are deducted. The court will most likely get the combined parental income from the most recent tax returns.

In some cases, it is possible that child support could be calculated without the assistance of an attorney. However, even if your child support matter seems as though it could be easily resolved it is still a good idea to at least consult an attorney.

Consulting a Long Island child support attorney regarding your child support matter means that you will have a clear understanding of what may occur and what your rights and obligations are in regards to child support. Working with an attorney in legal proceedings involving child support will mean that your rights will be actively protected and that the outcome has a better chance of working in your favor. After all, the court ruling made regarding child support will affect you and your children's financial situation for years to come.
