FAQ
Because each child support order is unique to every case, there is no set minimum for what a parent must pay. Instead, the proper amount will be determined by the state's set formula to calculate a fair payment that can properly care for the children involved.
In Maine, the custodial parent collects child support from the other parent until the child is 18 or graduates from high school but not later than age 19. The court does not have legal authority in this state to order either parent to pay college tuition.
In Maine, child support is calculated based on three factors: 1) the Maine Child Support Guidelines established by the Legislature (this is based on the combined income of both parents); 2) health insurance costs for the child, if any; and, 3) daycare costs for the child, if any.
The child support obligation ends when 1 of the following factors occur: (1) Any child reaches 18 years of age and has graduated from secondary school; (2) Any child reaches 19 years of age without having graduated from secondary school; (3) Any child obtains an order of emancipation; or (4) Any child dies.
A judge cannot simply add the new spouse's income to the parent's income and then use the child support formula to calculate a new child support amount but may treat the additional income as part of the parent's overall household income.
