Massachusetts Divorce - Child Support

In Massachusetts, the amount of child support that you will have to pay or may be entitled to receive is determined by the Child Support Guidelines. Those guidelines are formulas which, based on the income of both parties, the number of children, and other factors, determine the amount of child support.

In Massachusetts, child support must be paid until the child attains his or her eighteenth birthday, unless the child becomes emancipated by getting married, entering the military service, or becoming self-sufficient financially, or graduates high school and is not attending a higher education institute. If the child is attending an accredited university or college, then child support may continue until the child reaches his or her twenty third birthday.
