A guideline figure is where a court starts. A judge can depart from it for reasons like extraordinary medical needs, imputed income or the children’s special circumstances. If your case is contested, an attorney can tell you how those factors may apply.

Save your worksheet as a PDF and bring it to the first meeting. It can save time and legal fees.
