How Does Day Care & Child Support Work?
In the process of determining a fair child support amount, the court will consider several factors. Aside from the income levels of each parent and the number of children being supported, the court will also consider which parent is covering the expense of additional costs involved with the care of the child.
One of the most significant expenses, when both parents work, is daycare. The laws regarding the cost of a day or childcare can vary by state. In some states, this factors into the child support formula. In some states, the cost of childcare may be generally allocated between the parties based on their shares of their combined net income. Be sure that you seek the advice of a day care and child support attorney who can help to ensure that an accurate calculation is made.
