Child Support 

Child support can be one of the most confusing parts of a family law case. Whether you were married or not, if you and the other parent are living separately, child support may need to be established or modified.

In many cases, child support is determined at the same time as custody and parenting plans, but it can also be addressed on its own.

In Tennessee, child support is calculated using a formula that considers several factors, including each parent's income, the amount of time each parent spends with the child, health insurance costs, child care expenses, and other relevant information. Because these factors can change over time, it is often appropriate to review child support when there has been a significant change in circumstances, such as:

• A substantial increase or decrease in income

• The birth of another child

• A change in the parenting schedule

• A child turning 18 or graduating from high school

If your circumstances have changed, you may be eligible to have your child support modified.
