Divorce Creates Unique Challenges For Large Families
Financial Complications Can Be Tricky
July 7, 2009
JACKSON, Miss. — Divorce is stressful for any family. But for a large family, like Jon and Kate Gosselin and their children, the financial complications can be particularly tricky.
Large families facing divorce will need to figure out how much the non-custodial parent pays in child support. That figure is usually based on the total household income before the divorce and the number of children in the family.
In most cases, both parents will split any out-of-pocket health care costs. And all parents — even those of young children — should include planning for college tuition in a divorce agreement, rather than counting on both parties having the money down the road.
The smallest issues should be worked out in the divorce paperwork to make sure both parents are on the same page. Even a small amount of money like an allowance can create problems unless both parents agree on how much their children should get and what they have to do to earn it.
