Re: Child support during separation
|
Child suport and spousal maintenance may be ordered during a separation. However, the court may also determine custody issues before any financial matters are addressed. What occurs financially depends on what parenting schedule is ordered by the court. You seem to assume that you will be awarded rimary physical custody. That may be the case, but you provide no facts that would indicate why that may be.
After parenting time is determine, child upport and spousal support may be addressed. What occurs depends greatly on the incomes and earning capacity of both parties as well as their monthly expenses and necessary bills.
Fault - although a basis fo rteh divorce, does not impact the considerations for parenting and custody, child suport or even spousal support.
