Legal Question in Family Law in New York

Re: child support

The law under the child support standards act in New York requires the non-custodial parent to pay 17+ percent of the gross less FICA for child support. You also may be required to pay a proportionate share of child care and medical.

However, there is provision that if your income is very low, the amount can be waived or lowered. You have not told me how much income you have.

contact me and give me some more information, perhaps I can better advise you.

Your divorce lawyer should have argued that you could not meet your own needs if you have to pay a disproportionate amount of your income for child support.
