“My Ex and I Share Joint Custody of Our Children. He Pays Child Support but Not According to the Child Support Standards”

Q: Act. We opted out of that b/c we share equal access of the children. School costs 65/35. medical 60/40 Responsible for purchasing own clothing for kids, childcare. share all other statutory add ons 60/40. Question – where do haircuts fall under? Thank you for your time.”

A: “Basic child support is intended to cover all basic necessitates of the child – including costs of haircuts. If basic child support was waived and only 1 parent is paying for the haircuts & the other parent is refusing to contribute, then a modification petition may need to be filed. Schedule a consult with a White Plains Child Support attorney for more info.”
