West Virginia Child Support Attorney

Unfortunately, almost 50 percent of all marriages in the United States will end in divorce or separation. In addition, about 40 percent of children are born to unmarried parents. How these children are supported is a social and legal issue. In West Virginia, both parents are responsible for the care and support of their child. The amount of child support paid or received depends on the number of children you have and the combined income of both parents. The state of West Virginia has guidelines to determine a fair and reasonable amount of child support based on these two factors. At Isner Law Office in Elkins, we understand the importance of ensuring that your minor children are financially supported.

How Is Child Support Determined?

West Virginia law considers many factors when calculating the amount of child support that is payable from one parent to the other for the care of each child. Each parent’s monthly gross income, as well as the number of children, are two of the main guidelines used to calculate the dollar amount of child support payable from the noncustodial parent to the custodial parent. The basic financial obligations considered by the courts include providing the child with adequate food, shelter, education, clothing, childcare, and healthcare. However, each circumstance is calculated on an individual basis. If you’re confused by the amount you’re paying, call Attorney Phil Isner for guidance. He is an experienced family law attorney who understand the complex details involving the child support calculation.
