## Securing Financial Support for Your Children

Every parent has a duty to financially support their children. Typically, the noncustodial parent provides child support payments to the custodial parent. The amount of support is influenced by several factors, including:

- The child support agreement established during the divorce
- The number of overnight stays each parent has with the children
- The gross monthly income of each parent

Gross monthly income encompasses all income sources, such as wages, investments, unemployment benefits, and workers’ compensation. Any income you receive contributes to your gross monthly income.

Our Boise, Idaho child support attorneys can help you calculate the amount you may need to pay or receive, depending on your custody arrangement, by using the Idaho child support calculator to factor in the gross monthly incomes of both you and your spouse.

Once this amount is established, it must be paid monthly until your children either turn 18 or graduate from high school, whichever occurs later. If you need to adjust this amount, you must petition for a modification of the divorce decree. The courts will only grant a modification if there has been a significant change in circumstances, such as:

- Job loss or gain
- Remarriage of one parent
- The birth of another child to one parent
