HOW IS CHILD SUPPORT APPORTIONED AMONG CHILDREN?

QUESTION: How is Child Support apportioned when you have more than one child? =============================================== MY RESPONSE: All of your children are entitled to Guideline Child Support. However, the way that Guideline Child Support is calculated where you have more than one child is to apportion child support in such a way that when the oldest child's Child Support ends (at age 18, or if still a full time high school student, then at the first date of completion of 12th grade or age 19), you wouldn't have to go back to Court for a modification of Child Support for the other two children. Using that form of calculation (as opposed to calculating a figure for all three children and dividing the number by three) results in the highest amount of support for the youngest child, next highest for the 2nd child, and lowest amount of support for the oldest child. =============================================== This educational blog is brought to you by DONALD F.
