In New York, child support is governed by the Child Support Standards Act (C.S.S.A.), which is to be paid to the custodial parent by the non-custodial parent. While there is a duty to support your children under New York State law, you cannot legally collect on child support without an order or registered agreement.

Child support is calculated from the date of the filing of a petition for child support. Thompson Law Group, P.C. handles all child support proceedings, including modifications, enforcement, contempt, effectively asserting the rights of both the custodial and non-custodial parents.
