Paying Child Support in New York

A child deserves financial support and love from both parents. If you are a father, and you are being asked to pay child support from your child’s mother, or the courts, contact a New York fathers’ rights attorney at the Law Offices of Brian D. Perskin today. Before child support can be set and enforced, paternity and custody must first be established. Paternity is proof that the child is in fact legally yours and may be determined by a simple DNA test. If you disagree that the child is yours, then a DNA test may be needed as proof. However, when it is determined that the child is legally yours, either by a paternity test or by your own admittance, and you are not the custodial parent, may be required to pay child support as ordered by the family law court. Failing to do so can result in incarceration, along with several other penalties.

If you are a father fighting for custody, a New York fathers’ rights attorney at our firm may be able to help you resolve this issue before child support is ordered or must be paid. The mother cannot ask you to pay, expect you to pay, or enforce you to pay child support without an actual court order. Particularly if a child custody agreement has not been established by a family law judge.

Our New York child custody lawyers can assist you during the child support process. We can help fight any disputes you may have with the amount of child support requested and negotiate a fair arrangement that both parents can agree upon in family law court. In some instances, our family law attorneys may be able to help our clients reach an agreement with the other parent, which can help minimize any future court appearances and proceedings.

When child support payment arrangements are made, the support must be paid in a timely manner. You cannot legally withhold a payment for any reason. If you were granted visitation with your child and the mother is not allowing you to see him or her, you should still pay but should return to court to have a judge review the visitation agreement. A family lawyer at our firm may be able to help you with this.

If agreements are not kept when child support is arranged, and you miss several payments, you may be sentenced up to 1 year in jail, fines, probation, driver’s license suspension, parole and you may also be ordered to pay back child support (referred to as “arrears”). Please contact a New York child support lawyer at the Law Offices of Brian D. Perskin immediately if you have any issues or questions regarding paying child support.
