Are day care expenses included in child support payments?

The starting point when fixing child support are the New Jersey Child Support Guidelines, which can be deviated from but are presumptively correct.  One of the line items in the Guidelines is child care.  In your question, you do not say whether your Settlement Agreement explicitly references the Guidelines and explains any deviation from the Guidelines.  That is an important fact to know.  In addition, was there any discussion during your settlement negotiations about sharing the cost of child care?  I would be happy to have a brief telephone call with you, to get more facts and to answer other questions that you may have.  Of course, there is no charge for that phone call.  My firm’s telephone number is listed below.   Please also feel free to take a look at our Firm Website (www.salvaggiolaw.net), which contains a lot of helpful information. I wish you the best.  David F. Salvaggio, Esq.
