Child Support – Making Sure Your Children Are Protected
Child support is one of the most common issues that arise when going through a divorce with children involved. Child support is in place to make sure the children are protected and can have their needs met financially even though the parents are no longer married. There are many questions that often arise when the topic of child support is mentioned. Some of those questions include:
How is child support calculated in Iowa?
How many years does a parent make child support payments?
Does one of the parents still pay child support if the court awards joint physical care of the children?
How important is a person’s salary when child support is calculated?
Is it possible for a parent to quit their job as a way to avoid paying child support?
How are child support payments enforced if the payor stops paying?
Do parents still make child support payments for a child over age 18?
Can child support payments be modified if a parent’s job or salary changes?
Can child support provisions be modified if a part of the original custody agreement changes – such as which parent the children live with or if one of the parents moves?
Do child support modifications require a new court order?
Can a person be forced to pay child support for a child they have never seen or met?
