Family Law – Child Support 101
In Connecticut, in order to be able to determine child support, the parties will first file financial affidavits to the court.
They have to put the average of what they’ve earned over the last 13 weeks with only up to 5 hours of overtime and based upon their net incomes, they will determine what they pay in child support depending on how many children they have.
The Connecticut child support guidelines are black and white. There are deviations but basically, based upon your net income, how many children you have and what percentage of income you earn compared to your spouse will determine what you pay in child support.
