Child Support in Massachusetts - Sequel Law

The Massachusetts Child Support Guidelines Task Force recently released updates to the Child Support Guidelines that serve as the presumed amount of child support that parents should pay or receive. Starting October 4, 2021, the new guidelines will be in effect, and parents in Massachusetts will see changes to how their child support is calculated. Every four years or so, the courts are required to review the state’s Child Support Guidelines to make sure that they are clear, fair, and in line with any economic or public policy changes that impact parents.
