Knowledgeable Tennessee Child Support Attorney
When a child is born, they deserve to have the financial and emotional support of both parents. Once a parent is able to establish paternity they can legally ask the courts for child support on behalf of their child. Child support is typically paid by the non-custodial parent to a custodial parent and is awarded during child custody cases. It may be awarded regardless of whether or not two parents of a child were ever married or are facing divorce.

Calculating Child Support
In Tennessee, the family law courts base the amount of child support to be paid on many different factors related to a child needs. Child support payments are made on a monthly basis up until the child is around age 18, unless special schooling or medical needs are present. In Tennessee there is a statewide child support calculator that is used in each and every case. This is utilized so that payments being paid and received are fair and accurate to each parent.
