Determining an appropriate amount of child support requires accurate accounting of the income of both parents. In some cases, parents who are obligated to pay support try to lower the amount of the payment by avoiding employment or intentionally taking a lower-paying job. If you are a child support recipient whose co-parent is unemployed or underemployed, then know that the law provides options for you to receive the amount of financial support your child needs and deserves.
