Child Support
What is child support?
In the state of Connecticut, child support is used to maintain the well-being and self-sufficiency of families. One parent makes payments to another for the benefit of their shared children. The parent with primary custody of the child does not have to pay child support because they provide for the child regularly.
What determines the amount of child support owed?
Child support is calculated by taking into account parents’ weekly respective net incomes and basic child support obligations. Other factors may also be considered, including the age of the children, additional health or childcare expenses, and individual needs of the children. Child support obligations can also be modified based on factors like changing income.
