There are many factors to consider when calculating child support. Among these factors includes the number of overnights, health insurance costs, relative income of the parents, and some education-related expenses.
Factors important to calculating child support are often not as clear as we would like. For example, a parent’s income may be hard to determine based on their status as a stay-at-home parent, or because they receive bonuses, or overtime, or are independent contractors instead of W-2 employees. Due to this, we have created child support calculators in order to provide a good estimate of what your unique child support payments may look like.
