How Do Plymouth Courts Create Child Support Plans?

The court understands that every family is different. For that reason, the judge will analyze a variety of factors to calculate a child support plan best suited to your family's situation. If you and your spouse are getting a divorce, the court will first determine child custody, then they will decide how much the custodial parent should receive for child support.

The factors that judges consider when deciding on a child support plan include:

  • Parenting time (custody & visitation)
  • Each parent’s income
  • The estimated cost of childcare
  • Extraordinary medical expenses
  • Extracurricular activities
  • Relationship to alimony
  • Additional revenue (commissions, bonuses, etc.)
  • Health insurance coverage
  • Number of children
  • And more

Because the judge can only make decisions based on the evidence before them, it's vital to have a child support lawyer who knows how to uncover information, gather evidence, and thoroughly prepare your case. The more evidence you can gather that supports your case, the more likely it is that you'll get an ideal outcome. At Miller Law Group, P.C., our attorneys are adept at uncovering the truth of your marriage's finances, consulting with financial forensic experts to ensure everything is "on the table," so to speak. The result is a much stronger chance at getting what you need, whether or not you go to court.

Massachusetts Child Support Modifications

If parents experience a major financial change, they can request a child support modification. For example, if you lost your job and you're struggling financially, you can request a child support modification so that it adjusts based on your new situation. However, it's vital to continue making payments as agreed before your modification is approved.

Child support modifications might be made by a Massachusetts court if:

  • The payment amount would be different if it were recalculated using current standards
  • Health insurance costs have changed or are now available
  • Any other significant change affect either party’s financial situation
