Thanks for the information, Josh. In Massachusetts, child support is determined based on both parents' income, the child's needs, and other factors. Here are the key points:
- Massachusetts Child Support Guidelines
- Both parents' income and assets are considered.
- Child's needs and standard of living are also factors.
Would you like to know more about how to file for adjustment or any related process?
I am paying and have been paying child support payments for over a year every week through the state,and my ex took me to court because she says I am not paying when I clearly have the evidence stating I am paying all this time. she has not been receiving these payments because she has not set up a payment method through the state. I presented all evidence during the discovery phase. Now I am in a continuance. My trial is in three days, but I am wondering if I can just file a notice of appearance, but not show up to trial since I am paying.
