Our Child Support Practice

In Connecticut, child support is determined by applying a formula, which is based primarily on the income of the Mother and the Father. Your expenses are generally not factored into the calculation, however there are several factors that the court can consider in arriving at its final decision.

The formula is designed to be a guideline, however, and deviations or adjustments may be appropriate, based on circumstances. We will review all proposed child support orders to ensure compliance with state guidelines and to ensure that all relevant income, including self-employment, seasonal or commission-based income, is properly included.

We work with clients at all stages of a child support dispute, from the determination of temporary support while your divorce is still pending to post-judgment requests for modification or enforcement of existing child support orders.
