What determines child custody payments?

Child support is typically required when the parent who is awarded primary custody does not have sufficient income to ensure that a child’s standard of living is not adversely affected by a divorce. In family law matters, the judge assigned to the case is always supposed to keep the best interest of the child or children as a principal concern. This may result in the requirement that you submit regular child support payments. Unfortunately, your spouse may seek to obtain unreasonable payments.

A skilled and experienced attorney can help you contest payments that are excessive. Contact the Fort Lauderdale divorce lawyers of Eric N. Klein & Associates, P.A. at 954-580-8080.
