Helping Our Clients Understand The Michigan Child Support Formula
Oakland County child support lawyers Laura E. Eisenberg, J.D., and Amy M. Spilman, J.D., are committed to helping men and women in Birmingham and throughout Michigan in all child support matters relating to divorce, family support and paternity cases.
In Michigan, child support is calculated using the Michigan Child Support Formula. This formula takes into consideration several factors when calculating the amount of child support to ensure that the children involved will receive fair and adequate financial support based on their needs and the resources available to them. Some of the factors include:
- Income of each parent
- Family size
- Child care expenses
- Number of other minor children
- Preexisting support orders
When you consult with Eisenberg & Spilman, PLLC, our child support lawyers will help you understand how state laws apply to your case and what factors will be considered. This will allow you to determine the amount of child support you will likely receive or pay.
We understand the complex details of the Michigan Child Support Formula, and we will use our skills and our knowledge to fight for your rights and get the child support order that is fair for you.
Modifying Child Support
In Michigan, every three years a parent may petition the Friend of the Court to conduct a review to modify his or her child support judgment. If both parents agree to the modification, the court will usually approve the change. But, if the parents do not agree upon the proposed change in support, a motion must be filed, and the court will make a determination based on the Michigan Child Support Formula.
