Manhattan child support lawyer Ryan Besinque releases a new article (https://www.besinquelaw.com/child-support-lawyer-new-york/) explaining what child support means in a New York divorce. The lawyer mentions that according to New York state law, parents must aid their children financially up to the age of 21 and until they are 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 lawyer.

The lawyer explains that child support is the legal obligation of the parents to make payments towards one another or one parent to the other custodial parent for the financial support of their child or children. The parent who does not have custody of the child usually pays support to the other parent in most cases. This payment is used for the daily expenses of the child such as childcare, health insurance, education, and others.

Attorney Ryan Besinque adds that a lot of parents usually misunderstand shared custody. A common misconception is that some parents believe that if custody is shared, both parents won’t have to pay child support to each other. However, if custody is shared, the parent with the higher income will have to pay child support to the lower-wage earning parent.

According to attorney Ryan Besinque, “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.
