Child Support Calculation In Michigan
The way courts calculate child support is set by statutory guidelines that review all aspects of the parents’ financial resources. This includes:
- Primary income
- Investment resources
- Income producing properties
- Split of overnights
The guideline calculator reviews all of this and generates a support payment. the child support ordered should include health insurance and medical care.
Modifications And Enforcements
The process to change or enforce a child custody agreement has several similarities in that they begin with a petition to the court. The court will then schedule a hearing for a modification. This will be a hearing to explain the many reasons the support orders may no longer apply. In an enforcement action, it will be a show-cause hearing, which will require the presence of the person alleged to be in violation of the original support order.
These hearings are technical, evidence-based hearings that attorney Hills will guide you through step by step, with compassion and experienced service.
