The Washington Child Support Guidelines help determine child support amounts in Washington State. Under these guidelines, the parent’s marital status is irrelevant when computing support on behalf of the child.
Parents have the option of petitioning the family court or the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) for help in determining child support for their child. Due to the length and complications involved with DSHS, many parents prefer to deal directly with the family court.
In Washington, child support is primarily governed by statute and is based on the parties’ income and work-related daycare expenses. However, several other factors can dramatically affect the presumed support payment.
These factors include, but are not limited to:
The intent of the legislature in determining child support is to ensure that the child’s basic needs are met. Therefore, it is doubtful the Court would ever enter a zero amount for a child support obligation. Working with a Kirkland child support attorney can help ensure that the support arrangement fairly reflects both the child’s needs and the parents’ financial situations.
