Child Support

If you have common children with your spouse and you separate, regardless if you are married or not, child support has to be determined for your children. The amount of the child support depends of several factors, namely the revenues of the parents, the number of children, the type of custody (the percentage of time that the children spend with each parent), the net child care expenses, the special expenses, the revenues of the children if they work but are not financially autonomous.

The ideal scenario is when both parents agree on the issues of custody and child support, but often the parents do not agree and the Court determines the kind of custody and the amount of the child support.
