FAQ
Unlike child support orders, in Pennsylvania there is no set formula for determining how much alimony someone receives. Factors the court considers include: The income and earning capacity of both parties. Assets and debts of each party.
Ing to Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 1910.16-3 if they have 1 child the base support per month for the parents combined is $993. From there the parties share of income determines their share of support.
Child support is never deductible and isn't considered income. Additionally, if a divorce or separation instrument provides for alimony and child support, and the payer spouse pays less than the total required, the payments apply to child support first. Only the remaining amount is considered alimony.
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.
