3. What do we
need to do to get child support?
Both Parents are Responsible for Child Support
In Virginia, both parents, whether married to
one another or not, are obligated to support their children. Child support
payments are based on the combined incomes of both parents. This gives the
child (or children) the benefit of what the parents could have provided in a
single household. The state holds each parent responsible for covering a
certain percentage of the whole child support amount, which must include health
and dental care for the child. Childcare costs, too, could be part of the
equation. If you are wondering what your fair share will be, you can estimate
it by using a set of guidelines (explained below).
