In general terms, both spousal and child support is based upon the incomes of both parents and which parent has actual physical custody of the children. State guidelines determine the amount of "basic" or weekly child support that a court will order a non-custodial parent to pay to the custodial parent, based on a percentage of income. The amount of the percentage (i.e., 17%, 25%, 29%, etc.) varies with the number of children to be supported.

After helping a client to get a spousal support or child support order, Lawyer Hendrickson will fight to best ensure that the client actually gets paid the support he or she needs.
