Child support is often a highly contested matter for recently-divorced individuals and couples who were never married. State law requires all parents involved in these disputes to submit a Connecticut Child Support Guidelines Worksheet to the court. This document uses a formula to calculate regular payments based on both parties’ incomes.
After completing this worksheet, parents may work with a lawyer to negotiate child support that deviates from the calculated value. A legal professional can ensure any support agreements meet the applicable legal requirements. Alternatively, if two parties were never married, a parent might hire a family attorney for help requesting a paternity test to confirm or contest obligations to pay child support.
Domestic issues can lead to contentious disputes that impact the entire family. Though state law permits individuals to represent themselves in family court, you do not have to face the legal system alone.
