Understanding Michigan's Child Support Calculation
Child support in Michigan is calculated using a formula established by state law. The formula takes into account several key factors, including the income of both parents, the number of children involved, custody arrangement, as well as the child’s health care and childcare costs.
It's important to note that Michigan follows an "income shares" model, which involves assessing the total combined income of both parents and establishing each parent's proportionate contribution based on their income percentage.
While there is a formula for child support in Michigan, it only serves as a guideline -- the retains the discretion to adjust the support amount if it determines such a modification is in the child's best interests.
