Knowledgeable and Experienced Child Support Law
Even though child support is determined by statutory guideline calculations, determining a final amount is anything but an easy process. There is much litigation about child support and much of I centers on what a person actually earns. This may not always be as simple as it would appear. Also there are times when it would be unfair to make a party pay full child support due to a variety of factors including the time they spend with the child, extra expenses they pay for the child, etc.
Spousal support is just as complex. A court should consider in excess of 12 different factors in arriving at an amount of spousal support. In reality, courts are more and more inclined o use their own formula as a starting point in their analysis. It is not to say that all courts are strictly formulaic, it is just a beginning point for some courts while others vary little in their approach. In fact, different judges in the same county can vary in their approach to spousal support.

Challenges in Determining Spousal and Child Support
Some of the times, it is easy to calculate support. However, that is not always so. Challenges come up when one or both spouses have significant self-employed income or own a business. Getting to the facts can be a daunting task. The task can be even more complicated when taking into the fact that each county grants spousal support differently. One way not to get surprised is to ask someone who knows. At the Law Offices of Stephen E.S. Daray, we are more than up for that challenge.
