How Child Support Is Decided
Child support is decided according to a standardized formula, Massachusetts Child Support Guidelines, that evaluates certain factors such as custody, income of either spouse, lifestyle and needs of the child. This keeps the child’s best interests as the priority and provides a sense of fairness in supporting the child’s needs. Generally, the parent who provides the primary residence for the child receives payment from the other parent.
Over time, if the income or circumstances of the parents change, this amount can be reevaluated to reflect those changes. A modification can also be requested if the needs of the child change over time, including medical situations or extraordinary expense.
