New York's child support system is outdated. The guidelines for calculating support stop at a combined income of $80,000. Beyond that threshold, you will need a skilled negotiator who can consider all factors, from day care to college financing, to ensure you are treated fairly, and your child's best interests are served.
At the law office of Keith B. Schulefand, Esq., we have more than 30 years of divorce and family law experience. Parents dealing with complex child support matters benefit not only from our founding attorney's legal background, but also from his Master of Business Administration(MBA).
If you are the recipient parent, we can investigate to make sure the other party is accurately reporting income so that you are not shortchanged in providing for your child's basic needs. If you are the paying parent, we can challenge attempts to make you pay more than your fair share.
In shared custody, the parent with the higher income is considered the noncustodial (paying) parent. However, support is calculated at a lower rate based on a percentage of the difference in your incomes.
