Child support enforcement in New York

Within New York, child support is determined by Child Support Enforcement Authority in the New York City Office. It determines financial support that is needed to the child to raise up without any hassle after the divorce. In here, the non-custodial parent will have to keep on making a payment according to the New York law.

The payments that non-custodial parent has to pay are determined according to the Child Support Standards Act. It will be a fixed percentage of the non-custodial parent’s monthly income. The monthly income of non-custodial parent is not considered only from the monthly wages. All sources of income will be considered at the time of determining the percentage. However, father will also have to prove and showcase that he is the biological father of the child after a DNA test. In other words, paternity has to be proven scientifically and legally. According to the federal law that exists in United States, both parents will be made responsible for taking care of the child.

When filing for child custody support, both custodial parent and non-custodial parent will have to submit some basic information. These details will be used by the court in order to determine the way how money is being paid towards the child. Then the money from the non-custodial parent will be obtained in the form of a paycheck. This paycheck is then paid to the custodial parent to support the expenses of raising the child. OCSE will play a major role behind this.
