MICHIGAN CHILD SUPPORT ATTORNEY
Courts use the Michigan Child Support Formula Manual to calculate child support. Even when using the Michigan Child Support Formula, there are many variables that go into calculating support, and there are certain circumstances where the Court may deviate from the formula. There is no “cookie-cutter” approach to child support. The Court takes child support very seriously because every child has the inherent right to financial support. We understand the intricacies of child support and calculate support according to the Michigan Child Support Formula.
HOW IS CHILD SUPPORT CALCULATED?
Although Michigan uses the Child Support Formula Manual to determine child support, every family’s situation is different. The calculation takes many factors into consideration, including each parent’s income, the number of overnights each parent has with the child, healthcare costs, childcare expenses, and other relevant financial information.
Because each case is unique, it is important to understand how the formula applies to your specific circumstances and whether there are factors that may affect the final support calculation.
CHILD SUPPORT MODIFICATIONS
Child support may be modified when there has been a significant change in circumstances. Changes in income, parenting time, employment, or other financial circumstances may affect the amount of child support that is appropriate under the Michigan Child Support Formula.
Our attorneys can help you determine whether a modification may be appropriate and guide you through the legal process.
