Another main goal of the child support laws is to promote settlements and efficiency. While these laws are focused on children and efficiency, it can mean that they are not focused on helping you.

Guidelines for Child Support Laws

When the court sets its child support judgment, it examines the gross income of the parties. There is normally a specific formula that is used to establish child support payments but there can be exemptions to the formula. If there is an exemption to normal guidelines, the court must provide its reason for deviation.

Your gross income can include your:

  • Salary
  • Tips
  • Bonuses
  • Pension
  • Worker’s compensation
  • Unemployment insurance benefits
  • Trust income
  • Social security benefits
  • Commissions
  • Capital gains
  • Many other forms of income
