Child Support Calculations for High Income Individuals in Brooklyn

We Seek Appropriate Financial Support for Your Children

As a parent, you understand how important it is to have financial support for your children after a divorce. Determining an appropriate amount is not always easy, particularly in high-asset divorces. At Arnel Law Firm, we understand New York child support guidelines and we take steps to protect your children’s best interests by fighting for a child support order that is fair to them and you.

Our Brooklyn child support attorneys know that when a divorce issue impacts the well-being of your kids, it is particularly important to reach a beneficial and reasonable solution in a timely manner. Our founding attorney, Curt Arnel, is particularly adept at navigating complex financial issues in divorce, including child support.

Factors That Impact Child Support

When determining an appropriate amount of child support, the child support formula accounts for:

  • Daycare expenses
  • Childcare costs
  • Tuition for school
  • Expenses associated with extracurricular activities
  • Each parent’s income
  • How much time the child spends with each parent

Undisclosed income and assets can affect a child support order, as can multiple other factors. We recognize that an impersonal formula may not be appropriate for your situation, so we will work to reach a support amount that reflects unique and varied income streams.

State guidelines also include caps on how much the supporting parent will have to pay. However, in places where the cost of living is high – such as Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, and other parts of New York – a court can rule to exceed the cap limit. If this is necessary for your situation, our team will gather the documentation to prove it is appropriate to deviate from the standard child support guidelines.

    “When I left the court room that day I was so happy my blood pressure went down.”

    Mr. Arnel thank you very much for your help. When I received the court paper I wanted to call someone for help, you were the first Lawyer I call. You had help me before with some child support difficulties. And when I couldn't reach you, you daughter, Lawyer Lauren Arnel answered the phone. She was very understanding and kind enough to give me your email address. The day I came to New York City for the court date, I came with a heavy heart not knowing what's going to happen. But in the court that day Lawyer Howard Gardner presented the case beautifully and ask the court for a dismissal. And the Judge had to dismiss the case with no further argument. When I left the court room that day I was so happy my blood pressure went down.

    All in all, It was a team work from your Firm. Thank you again to Mrs. L. Arnel and Mr. H. Gardner.

    I will always recommend you Firm to anyone who is seeking legal help.

    Mr. Arnel thank you very much.

    “They are honest from the start”
    Excellent law firm. I am a father/service member that was awarded primary physical custody, final decision making of my son, and my child support payments was terminated thanks to Arnel law Firm. Curt, Lauren and Howard have years of experience and will represent you like Mike Tyson in the ring. They are relentless to the very end. They were able to prove that I was the more involved parent, had my son the majority of the time ( because of the mother choices), and was able to prove the mother's statement of having our son half the time was false along with many other false statements. Also they are honest with you from the beginning in terms of letting you know whether or not your case has enough substance to move forward to a court proceeding and even if its not they will advise you in the consultation what steps you will need to take. They will not waste your or their time. Highly recommend this law firm for divorce and custody battles.

    “I could not have asked for better!”
    Mr. Arnel and his daughter Ms. Lauren Arnel litigated my divorce jurisdiction dispute with complete success. I felt very confident in their advocacy of my case. Mr. Arnel is a gifted attorney; I could not have asked for better. He is highly persuasive, professional, doesn't mince words, yet gracious and gentlemanly at the same time. He inspires confidence, and the outcome proved my confidence in him was well placed.

    “So Attentive and Knowledgeable.”
    I was extremely devastated when I reached out to the law office due to concern over a potential custody battle. I left a message and was contacted the same day and time that I was given. Curt was so attentive and knowledgeable. All of the questions I had were answered. I left the phone call feeling 100 times better than I did when I originally called. Even after asking a bunch of questions knowing that I wouldn't need his services he continued to answer questions with honest answers making it very clear how efficient he was in his field. I am very happy that I found him and honestly hope I won't have to use him in the future. However if the services are needed I would definitely pick him!

    “If you or someone you know needs a family lawyer call Curt Arnel.”
    If I could give 10 stars I would. If you find yourself in the unfortunate position where you need to speak to an attorney to resolve any issues concerning your family, Curt Arnel and his team should be your only call. This is a long post. I called Mr. Arnel's office expecting to speak to a receptionist, I was wrong. Mr. Arnel answered the phone and we had a 45-minute conversation about our issue. He was so generous with his time. He answered every question I had and even brought up a few points I didn't even think of. I was blown away at how casual the conversation was. It was like I was speaking with an old friend. I never felt rushed. He explained to me how he had just resolved a similar matter and explained the whole process including numerous options to resolve the matter. My wife and I took his advice and are so thankful we did. If you or someone you know needs a family lawyer call Curt Arnel. You'll be glad you did. We are.
