Custody arrangements can significantly impact the financial situation of both parents. Once not living together, each parent will have to pay individual housing costs while also paying for the kids’ food, clothing and other expenses that previously were shared. If there is a difference in incomes or if one parent has greater parenting time, child support payments will be due as well. Hiring a mediator who is also a CDFA support expert to calculate the correct amount of child support is extremely important.
