Parties going through custody and support issues in court or divorce proceedings often wonder how child support is calculated by the courts. The courts use a state guideline that determines how much child support should be paid. It is based on the parties’ gross incomes along with other factors such as health insurance paid by each party, union dues owed to an employer, and whether or not any of the parties is paying child support to another child of another relationship.
Other factors the court considers is self employment income, any mortgage interest paid and property taxes if those are involved. Overtime can also be considered by the court as includable income.
There are certainly other factors to be considered by the courts in determining the amount of child support to be paid, and important factor being the amount of custodial time each party has with the minor child or children.
Do not leave to chance the outcome of the support you receive or the support you are obligated to pay by representing yourself in court. To do so would be at your own peril.
