CHILD SUPPORT

Michigan child support laws dictate how much must be paid to provide for any child under the age of 18 years. The amount of child support awarded is governed by a specific formula. This formula requires that in certain circumstances a shared economic formula should be used to calculate the amount to be paid. The income of the parties and number of overnights that are used in the formula must be precise in order for the amount of child support to be calculated correctly.

It is essential that you have the guidance of a knowledgeable attorney to help you sort through the various factors related to child support. Some of these factors are:

  • Medical insurance
  • Child care
  • Income of the parties
  • The number of overnights spent with a child
  • The child’s age and educational status

Clients also need to be aware of and understand issues which extend past the start of the initial child support order. Our attorneys can help you learn all pertinent aspects of child support matters.
