Legal Question in Family Law in New York

child support

Does child support accrue while the person paying custody is in prison? The prison sentence is long term (15 years) and not related to child support?

Re: child support

YES! It also accrues if you shoot yourself in the foot and can't work.

Not only does it accrue, but you cannot get a downward modification of child support from the court if your "injury" was self-inflicted.

If you wish to discuss this with me privately, please call to schedule a consultation. (516) 741-7799
