FAQ
The party seeking support for a child in their care must file a Petition for Support at the Domestic Relations Section or can file an E-Services support petition online at the PA Child Support Website.
The determination of spousal support is made by taking the difference in the net incomes of the parties, and multiplying that figure by a certain percentage (40% in cases where there is no concurrent child support, and 30% where there is child support in place).
Courts only award post-divorce alimony if necessary, i.e., the recipient spouse cannot financially support themselves. Alimony is referred to as a “secondary remedy” by the court, in that it is not automatic in every divorce.
A parent, caretaker/custodian, spouse, or attorney may request support services (file a Complaint for Support) electronically through the Pennsylvania Child Support Website by selecting the "Request Support Services" button.
In Pennsylvania, child support obligations normally last until the child turns 18 years old or graduates from high school, whichever comes later; however, child support can continue past the age of 18 and graduation if the child has certain physical or mental conditions that require continued support.

General Considerations for Determining Child Support Eligibility The needs of the child. The physical and emotional state of the child. The income of both parents. The financial condition of both parents. The standard of living the child would have received if the parents had remained together.
Generally, courts will likely award alimony and for a longer duration when there was a longer marriage. If the marriage is three (3) years or less, alimony would be unlikely unless there was a compelling situation.
If you mean the custodial parent and child live in another state from the noncustodial parent, yes, you can. Make an appointment at your local state child support enforcement office. They will tell you what information to bring with you to the appointment. They will do all the filing.
