Child Support for Unmarried Parents
An adjudicated father will be responsible for child support, just as a married father is. In determining child support for unmarried parents, the Massachusetts Child Support Guidelines apply. In fact, the Guidelines apply equally to determine child support for unmarried couples as they do for married parents. A family mediator can help an unmarried couple come to terms on the child support obligation that best serves them.
