As part of many divorce cases, child support in DC is an issue of concern for many people.
I am asked often, “Will I be able to pay my own bills along with paying child support?”
In DC child support is determined by applying a child support guideline that takes a number of factors into account when determining the appropriate amount of child support that should be paid.
The guideline was designed so that both parents share the responsibility for the support of their child or children.
