In Idaho, the determination of child support is determined based upon the Idaho child support guidelines. If both parties have W-2s, the child support can, in most cases, be determined by a simple calculation. But when one or both of the parents are self-employed, it can be easy to misrepresent or hide income. A non-custodial parent may earn significant income on a cash basis, thereby understating the earnings upon which the child support is determined. At the offices of Derek A. Pica, we know how to identify all sources of income and ensure that the court implements an appropriate child support order.
In addition, to monthly child support, the Idaho child support guidelines require the parents to share the cost of work-related daycare, medical insurance premiums, medical, dental, orthodontic, and optical expenses not covered by insurance. We work closely with clients to identify all of the costs associated with raising children and ensure that the child support order addresses those needs.
We understand that when you are attempting to ensure that your child support order is fair and accurate, you don’t want to be confused by a lot of legal jargon. We will always speak to you in plain language so that you understand your choices and can make informed decisions.
