As in all matters concerning children, the courts' only concern is the best interests of the child. The courts will rarely interfere with an agreement that provides for child support in accordance with the federal [[Child Support Guidelines]].

The courts will rarely interfere with an agreement that provides for child support in accordance with the federal [[Child Support Guidelines]]. The courts will also be reluctant to reduce a child support provision that is higher than what the Guidelines require, because it is logically in the best interests of the child to have the benefit of as much support as possible. The courts will be much more inclined to interfere with a provision of an agreement that calls for a lesser amount of support than what the Guidelines require. | ||
