Child Support

New York Child Support Lawyers

The Child Support Standards Act (CSSA) has mandatory support obligations that require certain amounts be paid based upon income and the number of children in the family. There are some variables with regard to the cost of child support, even pursuant to statute. The child support attorneys at Most & Kusnetz LLC have many years of experience assisting people in the White Plains, Westchester and Putnam County, New York, area with their child support related legal issues.

Child support is based upon the income of both parents. For one child the obligation is 17%, two is 25%, three is 28%, and four is 33%. The actual amount is figured based upon a proportion of the two parents' incomes.

One of the biggest issues in child support cases often involves determination of incomes. If a party is a W-2 employee, it is usually easy to figure out. If a parent is self-employed calculating income can be difficult. Courts will look at spending habits and bank records to help determine someone's income. We have experience in dealing with these matters and conduct thorough investigations into the spending patterns of the other party to actually figure out the amount of child support they should be paying.

Child support may be modified if there has been a change in employment, income, or if the custody agreement has been changed. We assist clients with the modification and enforcement of their child support.

If your case cannot be settled amicably, we have extensive experience in Family Court support trials. Our trial attorneys will vigorously pursue solutions to your legal problems, seeking to resolve them your satisfaction. For more information on case results, see our representative cases.
