Founded in 1996, Family Law Software is the preferred Family Law platform throughout North America due to its accurate financial analysis and fast calculations that help you reach settlements faster.
Family Law Software is the only software endorsed by both the Association of Divorce Financial Planners and the Institute for Divorce Financial Analysts.
Since 1996, Family Law Software’s child support guideline calculators have been used to calculate the actual child support amount used by hundreds of thousands of couples.
What is a child support guideline calculation?
The child support obligation is based on a calculation that varies from state to state.
In some states, the calculation is quite complicated. The factors always include the income of the payer, the number of children, and a state-specific table. In most states, they also include income of the recipient and expenditures by both parties on health insurance and child care.
But beyond that, every state is different both in terms of what factors count and what formulas are applied.
Other factors can be number of overnights, federal taxes, travel costs, education expenditures, mortgage payments, summer camps, and on and on.
Family Law Software knows all the factors in your state and will correctly apply them to get the correct result!
How accurate is our child support calculator?
Unlike the majority of calculators than can only produce estimates, Family Law software prides itself on providing exact results – even in states where the computations are exceptionally complicated, federal taxes are a part of the calculation, and in special situations such as cases involving a very-low-income payer or where there is a child from another relationship living in the home.
Our child support calculator is also trusted and used by thousands of attorneys, mediators, and financial planners in our 22 states*, and some or all judges and magistrates in 6 states**.
How can I access the calculator at no cost?
Our child support calculator is included in the free version of the Divorce Financial Planner from Family Law Software.
We recommend working with counsel who utilizes the professional version of Family Law Software to complete even more Family Law calculations and receive proper financial guidance.
Do I need an account?
While most online child support guideline calculators only support one-time-use, our calculator ensures your results are saved and easily edited by creating a Family Law Software account.
Is my account secure?
Your account is protected by the same security measures that guard our professional and judicial sites.
Can I use the calculator anonymously?
Because your account is fully secure and private, we recommend using your real name in the event you would like to share these calculations with counsel.
