Can You Agree to No Child Support in Family Mediations
Tye Bourdony of https://cplspa.com with Natalia Olowska-Czajka and Mac Pierre-Louis of https://olowskapierre.com illustrate how mediation addresses a question so commonly asked by handfuls of many parents, “Can I agree to pay no child support at all?” As usual, it depends…
In this video, we dive into creative ways to addressing the fundamental issue & paying it “wiser” or in other effective ways:
- where there is 50/50 joint custody & both parties earn similar incomes, they might both agree to not have a child support order on record
- where child support can be rendered as “services in kind”, such as allocating the funds to the mortgage each month or paying for the child’s or children’s private schooling
- where retroactive child support is at stake
- where settling arrears in child support through claiming the child or children during tax season
Just remember, nothing in these episodes constitutes legal advice; so be sure to talk to a lawyer as cases are fact dependent.
