PA Child Support

PA child support goes over guidelines which are expected to be followed by a non-custodial parent.
How Pennsylvania Child Support is determined
In the state of Pennsylvania, either or both parents may be obligated to pay
child support. The law determines which parent will pay by their net
monthly income, and how large each of their expenses are. The two parents
can come to an agreement on how much child support will be paid, as long
as it is approved by the court.
Pennsylvania Medical Insurance
Pennsylvania child support medical insurance can be provided by either or both
parents. If a non-custodial parent earns enough income to provide medical
insurance for the child, the court will hold that parent responsible. Both
parents could end up paying medical insurance if it is not available or to
expensive from their employer. A less expensive medical coverage would
have to be purchased by both parents.
Wage Garnishments for PA Child Support
Paying child support every month can get exhausting. Writing out a check,
getting an envelope, driving to the post office, and mailing the payment can
be very time consuming. Pennsylvania
child support has an easier way for the parents
to make payments without the extra chore. A non-custodial parent can have
the payments withheld from their paychecks. By doing this, the payment is
sent to a state agency where it is verified that child support was received.
Pennsylvania Child Support Visitations
Non-custodial parents are able to visit their children at any time under the
agreement with the custodial parent. On the other hand, if the two parents
are not in agreement with the visitations, the court will decide for them. The
PA child support visitations are as followed: the non-custodial parents are
allowed visitation rights every other weekend, one to two months in the
summer and alternating holidays.
The End of Child Support
The child support laws state that child support will end once
the child reaches the age of eighteen or when they graduate from high
school. But the custodial parent can request to have the non-custodial parent
continue to pay child support throughout the child’s college years. If the
child develops a disability, the non-custodial parent could pay child support
for the rest of the child’s life.
