Factors that judges typically consider


The District of Columbia offers an online calculator to help custodial parents figure out how much child support they can receive. However, the actual amount can vary based on:


  • Existing requests for alimony
  • Existing child support obligations
  • The number of children in the household
  • The current costs of health insurance and medical care
  • Additional sources of income, like lottery winnings, trust funds, Social Security benefits and workers’ compensation


Even if you and your spouse have agreed to end your marriage, you might have different opinions about child support. Attorney Batson can come up with a solution that protects your interests and the interests of your child.
