Most cases involving minor children are referred to Friend of the Court, an agency which assists the court by consulting and enforcing cases involving custody, parenting time, and (spousal and child) support disputes. The Friend of the Court will assist the parties in coming to a mutual agreement that’s beneficial to both, with a focus on the best interests of the minor children. Friend of the Court offers many services, including mediation, support enforcement, assistance with review hearings, show cause hearings and more. If both parties agree, they can “opt out” of Friend of the Court services, which means that they won’t be able to utilize the services or enforcement powers the Friend of the Court offers.
Child support is then determined by the custody determination as well as each party’s financial status and ability to provide for the minor child(ren).
