Planning for the Financial Needs of Your Children

Each parent must provide for their children. While married or cohabitating, this occurs naturally without much thought. But, after a divorce or separation, providing for children becomes a critical issue. This issue needs to be addressed to help ensure the financial needs of the children.

Financial needs include: medical expenses, tutors, extracurricular activities, child care, and college expenses. We are here to help you plan for these important financial aspects of raising your children.

Child Support Formula

In most cases, the state of Washington child support formula will determine what the child support will be. They look at many factors including:

  • The income of each parent
  • The number of children
  • Child custody
  • Parenting time
  • And more

One parent will typically provide financial support to the other to help care for the child.
