For All Users
- User Id. To change your credit card, we ask for your User Id. You can find your User Id at the very bottom of the screen in the Cloud software. But what if you are an associate in a firm, and the license is in the name of another attorney? We now show both your User Id and the User Id of the primary user. The latter is the one you need in order to change the credit card.
- Footnotes. When expenses are shown by residence and the Budget Report option is selected to show only one party’s information, and you are viewing the second party entered, housing expense footnotes were being omitted from the Budget Report. This is fixed.
State Specific
California.
- State tax calculation. In calculating state tax, we now subtract the California Earned Income Credit and any other unused refundable credits from the SDI tax. This change resulted from a directive from the Judicial Council that we should be doing this. The result is to make taxes lower for individuals who receive the Earned Income Credit, which makes their Net Disposable Income slightly higher. This could increase their contribution to a child’s support.
Florida
- Arrears rates. We have updated the arrears rates charged on child support for the new rates effective as of April 1, 2025.
- Assets on Financial Affidavit. From older files, if an asset had an investment type that is no longer shown, the asset was not appearing on the data entry screen in the “for the affidavit” views. Now, assets with an obsolete investment type are appearing on the data entry screen in all views.
Illinois
- Real estate expenses. You now have the option to omit expenses from a real estate property on the Financial Affidavit. The expenses would still carry to the budget report and cash flow projections. They would simply not appear on the Financial Affidavit. You find this option in a checkbox in the “more info” screen for the asset, in the section on fields specifically for the Financial Affidavit and at the bottom of the section for real estate expenses.
New York
- Tuition expenses. The tuition expense lines were not carrying designations such as “Unknown” or “TBD” to the Net Worth Statement. These designations are now carrying.
- “Rental property” designation. On the more info screen for real estate properties, there was a checkbox to designate the property as a rental property. This checkbox is obsolete, and we have removed it.
Ohio
- Health Insurance Affidavit. On the Health Insurance Affidavit, if the first party was male, the parties’ names were reversed. This is fixed.
