What is a Child Support Order and what can it address?
Child support orders in general define a transfer payment, how much money is paid by one parent to another parent. You should be aware though, that the child support order really consists of two documents, the order and the worksheets. It is the sum of the two documents that make up and define the intent of the child support order.
Child support orders can also address daycare, unpaid medical expenses, health insurance costs, long distance transpiration expenses as well as other costs or expenses. Additionally, the order defines the proportional share of the costs and expenses that each parent is responsible for, how tax exemptions shall be shared, when support terminates, and when and if they can automatically and retroactively adjust.
