Harrisburg, Pennsylvania – The laws related to child support in Harrisburg PA are specifically lined out according to the income of the custodial and non-custodial parent. The differences in the children to which the care is provided requires flexibility in the guidelines to accommodate their special needs. The attorneys from the Law Offices of Peter J. Russo (http://www.pjrlaw.com/Practice-Areas/Child-Support.shtml) understand that some children require more intense care and that there are additional factors that can be used to negotiate the amount of child support received by either parent.

If a child has a medical condition or disability, additional child support will probably be required. Some conditions require them to eat a special diet or to make specific types of accommodations for them in their school. In some cases, a parent will under-estimate their earnings to reduce the amount of child support they have to pay. All of these circumstances and more are reason enough to open up an investigation to determine if they should be required to pay more child support in Harrisburg PA.
