Child Support Guidelines
Every jurisdiction varies on child support guidelines, which is why you should consult with one of our experienced New Orleans and Gulfport child support attorneys to discuss your specific case. However, in general child support guidelines are based on some of the following factors:
- Adjusted gross income of each parent
- Number of children
- Day care/child care expenses
- Health care
- Education expenses
- College expenses
- Parenting time
Modifications, Enforcements and Contempt Actions
Once child support is calculated and determined, that does not mean the order is permanent. Substantial change in circumstances can merit a child support modification. These circumstances often include losing a job, moving out of state or remarriage.
Child support is also your child's right and must be paid in full and on time. If you find payments are late or not in full, we can seek an enforcement or contempt action.
