Support

There are two forms of support, child support and spousal support. Unless there is absolute neglect, neither child support or spousal support are available when the parties are living together.

Both child support and spousal support are determined by applying the Pennsylvania Support Guidelines, which determine support based upon the parties' net monthly incomes.

Child support has no taxable consequences. Spousal support is deductible for the person paying the support and is includable in the gross income of the party receiving it.
