Before You Begin...
- You will need to have access to information for both parents regarding weekly income,
child care expenses, health insurance premiums, existing child support orders and
alimony amounts.
- If you have a child engaging in higher education, you will need to have the amounts
of their school expenses and the amounts the child contributes from sources such
as scholarships, loans, and savings.
- You must have a PDF viewer (such as Adobe Reader) installed to view and print forms.
- It may take 10-30 minutes to complete the calculation and produce forms for use
in court depending on how much information you need to enter, how much you have
on hand, and how comfortable you are using websites.
- Note that if you start a calculation and abandon your
work without saving, you will lose any information you have entered unless you save
the calculation and record the transaction number before you stop working. The calculator
allows for thirty minutes of inactivity.
