You shouldn’t pay anyone (not even us) for basic information. If you are simply curious about how much child support you would be expected to pay or how much child support you should expect to receive, simply follow the on-screen prompts and within minutes, you will have your answer.

We have created the DivorceDeli.com Child Support Calculator for your use. You can plug in the numbers and see what the guidelines say about who will be required to pay and how much. The guidelines rely on numbers from your financial affidavits, so you will need them to work out the calculations. One of the papers we prepare for you is the mandatory child support guidelines worksheet, which the judge will most definitely scrutinize. We do that by taking the answers to your questions and factoring in the numbers from the financial affidavits you send us. We should come up with the same result. Be aware of the relationship between custody, overnights and the guidelines. If 40% or more of child(ren)'s nights (more than 146) are spent with the noncustodial parent, there will be a significant affect on the guidelines.
