Child Support
In Pennsylvania, both parents are obligated to provide financial support for their children. Generally, the courts do not become involved in support matters until one parent has left the home and the parents are unable to resolve issues between themselves.
Under Pennsylvania law, the Courts use a formula to calculate the amount of child support owed. In doing so, the Courts consider many factors, including the net income of both parties and the number of children for whom support is sought. Extraordinary expenses may also be considered. In addition, if a parent obligated to pay support fails to pay, legal action and court intervention may be necessary.
Child support is payable until a child reaches the age of 18 or graduates from high school, whichever happens later.
