A new formula for calculating financial obligations is among the changes in child support law that took effect on January 1, 2007. The new formula includes both parents' incomes to determine each parent's share of the cost of raising a child. The change applies to actions filed with the court after January 1, 2007. You can find more information about these changes, including a support calculator, on the Department of Human Services web site or contact one of our attorneys listed below.
