Every parent has a financial obligation to provide for their children — and child support payments can be critical to ensuring that a child’s needs are met. However, the laws surrounding child support can be complex and it’s essential to have a child support attorney by your side who can ensure these payments are fair and meet the best interests of your children. At The Kulick Law Firm, LLC, we understand how stressful and overwhelming a child support matter can be. Our legal team is dedicated to providing solid advice, compassionate counsel, and aggressive advocacy for a wide variety of child support issues.
Child support is court-ordered payment made by the non-custodial parent to the custodial parent. In Pennsylvania, child support typically continues until a child is 18 years old or graduates high school, whichever is later. In some cases, it can be extended, such as if a child is attending college or they have special needs. Pennsylvania child support is based on an “income shares” model which considers the number of children and the income of the parents in calculating payments. However, the court assumes that the custodial parent is already spending money to support the child.

Regardless of whether you are the parent who is paying or receiving child support, navigating the legal process associated with these matters can be complicated. But it isn’t always necessary to go to court. In many cases, parents can work together to reach an agreement regarding child support without leaving the determination up to a judge. In the event parents cannot reach a settlement, the case will need to be litigated in the courtroom.
At The Kulick Law Firm, our child support attorney team is committed to representing clients for a wide array of Pennsylvania child support issues, including those involving the following:
A parent may not unilaterally make changes to a child support order or simply stop paying without approval by the court. But it’s vital to understand that child support orders aren’t always set in stone. There may be situations that arise warranting an upward or downward modification. If there is a material change in circumstances, such as unplanned job loss, disability, illness, or a change in child custody, a court may consider a child support modification request.
