SPECIALLY ABLED CHILD SUPPORT SERVICES IN NANAIMO AND VANCOUVER ISLAND

There are various considerations to evaluate during divorce proceedings involving children, especially when your child has special needs. The cost of medical care is significantly higher for the specially abled child than a typical child. The child often needs support  past the age of majority.  All these factors affect the amount of support that is payable and the length of time it is to be given. Various factors must be considered while determining the cost of child support, including education, medical care, the income of the custodial parent, and more. Spousal support, if payable,  may be adjusted upwards to address the needs of the custodial parent looking after the special needs child due to the fact that participation in the workplace to his or her optimum level may not be possible.
