Legal Question in Family Law in New York

Re: Child support

The primary factors that courts usually consider in deciding whether to make an upward deviation from the Child Support Standard Acts percentages include:

1) the gross and relative incomes of the parents, and

2) the standard of living of the child or children pre-divorce.

If the court perceives an ability to provide the child or children with a higher standard of living, quite often it will do so.

If you'd like to discuss specifics of your case, please feel free to get in touch.
