Support formula?

[Lleu]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? AZ

Is there a formula that is used by the courts to determine the amount of child support owed each month? My wife and I may be divorcing soon and I'd like to start preparing in case that happens. If we can't work things out between each other I'd like an estimate so I can start narrowing down my housing options.

Do a google search for an online child support calculator for your state.

Thanks, I don't know why I didn't think to do that.

As a side note, it seems that I'm a pretty good estimator of what I would have left after bills are paid. My estimate was 2 dollars less then the calculators. I know that this amount isn't exact but it's nice to know that I won't be living in the slums to pay child support.

Aha... glad to see you already found this. Good luck to you both.
