Federal Child Support Guidelines

Federal Child Support Guidelines are a set of rules used to determine how much financial support a non-custodial parent should provide for their child. These guidelines aim to ensure that children receive adequate financial support, reflecting the income of both parents, the needs of the child, and other relevant factors. Each state in the U.S. has its own specific guidelines to calculate support amounts, which can consider expenses like healthcare and education. The goal is to create fair and consistent support arrangements that prioritize the child's well-being.
