Child Support Helps Set Your Post-Divorce Financial Foundation

Handling Complex Child Support Calculations
The state of Minnesota provides an online child support calculator accessible to the public. Both spouses’ net incomes are entered, along with information on spousal maintenance, dependent health insurance and day care costs, and parenting time.
Using this calculator is a first step for most, but should not be the only step for many. Determining the correct amounts to enter into the calculations may require investigation and research. Once numbers are correctly inputted, an analysis of the impact of child support on both parties’ cash flow should be conducted to determine if the child support amount is in the best interests of your children — this involves looking at both parties’ after tax incomes and budgets.
If spousal maintenance is also an issue in your case, an experienced attorney is needed to determine what level of spousal maintenance and child support is appropriate. Child support does not have tax benefits, but spousal support does. An ideal combination of the two can provide savings to those who are paying while still providing the support needed for everyone involved. At the law office of Linda K. Wray, we pride ourselves on taking our clients to a new level in cash flow analysis as it relates to child support.
