CHILD SUPPORT IN VIRGINIA

In situations where parents are divorced, separated, or unmarried, the noncustodial parent will be required to send  child support payments. The child support payments involved are based on the combined incomes sources of both of the parents so each payment is a parent’s share of the total support that is required to be provided for the child. Child support also includes medical and dental care and may include additional payment amounts for child care as well. Custodial parents can ask for child support from noncustodial parents through the court system. In many cases, child support can also be ordered by the department of social services as well. Virginia State guidelines are used in both scenarios to calculate the amount of support that will be due. In determining child support, the income of a parent can include salary, wages, commissions, bonuses, and pensions as well as governmental benefits. One issue that can also affect this is how custody arrangements have been decided. It is one of the factors in how child support payments are calculated. Other factors that will affect child support obligations include support owed for other children, or the special needs of a child, a consideration of other court-ordered payments. These are payments that the court may have ordered previously. Of course the earning capacity of the parent is also considered. Each case is unique and each must be determined and based on a full review of the particular circumstances involved. A qualified family law attorney can help you navigate these issues.
