Child Support Worksheet

A Child Support Worksheet is a legal document used to calculate the financial support a non-custodial parent must pay to the custodial parent for the upbringing of their child. This worksheet typically includes the parents' incomes, taxes, and other relevant expenses. By listing these factors, it aims to provide a fair and standardized amount that ensures the child’s needs are met, considering both parents' financial capabilities. Each state may have different guidelines and formulas, but the worksheet serves as a vital tool to establish a transparent and equitable child support agreement.
