Understanding Washington child support guidelines

On Behalf of | May 17, 2016 | Firm News |

Parents in Washington often face continued legal challenges after divorce in matters regarding their children. Child support guidelines are a topic of main interest. These guidelines vary by state, and understanding the determining factors a Washington court will use to make such decisions is often crucial toward obtaining a positive outcome.

The court typically determines post-divorce issues, such as custody or child support, with a strong effort to keep the best interests of the children in mind. Various factors are considered important when interpreting what those best interests might be. For instance, the parents’ ability to interact in an amicable manner is often considered a determining factor. Also, a parent’s work schedule and income as well as each parent’s level of involvement in a child’s daily life are usually reviewed before a court renders a ruling regarding these family law issues.
