Re: subject
CS depends on the number of children and the combined income of the parents. There is alot of information on the web. Modifications to CS can be requested anytime there is a change in financial circumstances, up or down (of either party). Yes, an atty can represent you in NY.
Search "NY child support", etc. and your quest.'s will prob be answered.

Re: subject
Child support is calculated on the basis of gross income, the number of children and other factors. For one child, the baseline is 17% of the first $80,000 of an adjusted gross combined parental income. Also, the non-custodial parent must pay a proportionate share of unreimbursed medical expenses. (S)he may also be required to pay certain daycare and educational expenses. You may call me at 212-367-9167 to discuss this further. I do not charge a fee for the initial consultation.
