CHILD SUPPORT
Pennsylvania law requires both parents to support their child, and under the law, the right to support belongs to the child. Children have a right to support for their financial stability and to insure that their needs are being met fully. This includes healthcare coverage.
Whether you are entitled to receive support on behalf of your child, or whether circumstances obligate you to pay support for your child, it is important to know your rights, and what the law is regarding each scenario.
In dealing with child support, numerous other issues may arise. For example:
- Is paternity in question?
- Does one party work “off the books” or attempt to hide income?
- What happens if you or the other party quit your job, or are laid off or fired?
- If you are the recipient of child support, what remedies are there for nonpayment?
- If you are the party who is obligated to pay child support, what penalties are there if you don’t pay?
- If you are a grandparent or third party who has custody of the child, what are your rights and responsibilities as far as support is concerned?
These are just some of the issues that may surface in a child support matter. Whether you are the party who is owed child support, or the party who owes child support, MK can help you determine your rights and your responsibilities, and make sure that you are protected either way.
