Payments of child support are governed by the Child Support Standards Act within the New York State Domestic Relations Law and the Family Court Law. Under this act, the amount of child support as well as who can be required to make these payments is regulated. In most cases, the non-custodial parent will provide the custodial parent with monthly support payments based on a percentage of his or her income to support the mutual minor children.
