Uniform Child Support Guidelines

Uniform Child Support Guidelines are standardized rules used in many jurisdictions to determine the amount of financial support a non-custodial parent should pay for their child's care. These guidelines consider factors like each parent's income, the child's needs, and the time the child spends with each parent. The goal is to ensure that child support payments are fair, consistent, and sufficient to meet the child's living expenses, education, and health care. By following these guidelines, courts aim to provide stability and predictability for both parents and children during and after divorce or separation.
