Calculation Factors
Income Shares Model
This approach estimates the amount that would have been spent on children if the household remained intact, then divides this amount proportionally between parents based on their incomes.
Custody Time Adjustment
The amount of time children spend with each parent directly impacts support calculations. More overnight visits with the non-custodial parent typically reduces support obligations.
Healthcare & Childcare
These necessary expenses are typically added to the basic support obligation and proportionally shared between parents based on income ratios.
Special Circumstances
Education costs, special needs expenses, and extraordinary medical costs can significantly affect support amounts and are considered in comprehensive calculations.
