Child Support Calculation Guidelines

Child Support Calculation Guidelines are a set of rules and formulas used by courts and child support enforcement agencies to determine the amount of child support to be paid in a particular case. The guidelines typically take into account factors such as each parent’s income, the number of children, and the amount of time each parent spends with the child(ren). The purpose of the guidelines is to provide a standardized and objective method for calculating child support obligations and to ensure that child support orders are fair and consistent.
