Child Support Guidelines in New York State
How Are Payments Determined?
In the state of New York, child support is traditionally paid by the non-custodial parent (the parent that does not have primary physical custody of the child). These payments are intended to be used for the support, maintenance, and education of the child. Expenses that fall outside of these parameters and are not covered by child support include:
- Clothes
- Vacations
- Voluntary gifts
- Transportation
The receiving parent can collect support payments until the child is 21 years of age, or is earlier emancipated. Further child support guidelines, which are outlined in the New York Child Support Standards Act, contain tables that consider the gross income of both parents, as well as appropriate deductions, in order to calculate an accurate support payment to be given to the parent with primary custody.
