Manhattan child support lawyer Ryan Besinque releases a new article (https://www.besinquelaw.com/child-support-lawyer-new-york/) explaining how child support works in New York. The lawyer mentions that New York state law requires parents to support their children until they turn 21 years old or until they become legally emancipated.

“Family courts in New York require that both parents contribute financially to their children’s support and wellbeing, even when they are no longer a married couple. When a couple decides to separate or divorce, a child support agreement between the two parties sets out how each will contribute to the support of their child,” says the Manhattan child support attorney.

The lawyer explains that child support is the legal obligation of parents towards one another or toward the other custodial parent in order to support their child’s financial well-being. In most cases, support is paid to the other parent by the parent who doesn’t have custody. This is used for childcare, education, health insurance, and other daily expenses.

Attorney Ryan Besinque explains that many parents misunderstand shared custodial rights. Many parents mistakenly believe that sharing custody means that one parent doesn’t have to pay support for their children. If custody is split, the parent making more will have to pay support for their children’s lower-income parent.

According to the divorce attorney, “Couples can come to agreements outside of the typical scenarios. It is important for divorcing spouses to understand their legal rights and responsibilities before they agree to anything. Once the child support award is in place, there can be serious legal and financial consequences if the father or mother fails in his or her child support responsibilities.”

Lastly, attorney Besinque emphasizes that it’s very important to seek the help of an experienced child support attorney in matters related to child support. Having a skilled attorney may be able to help when it comes to creating agreements with child support and help them when it comes to understanding their rights and responsibilities.
