Child Support Calculator

[anniewalker]

Just an FYI and I wasn't sure where / how to post it.  I have a Child Support calculator for AL in Excel.  I have not updated the numbers since around 2001 - ish.  Feel free to use it as a guide, feel free to update the amounts if new ones have come out, feel free to distribute it, whatevers.  I used to keep up with this stuff, but since I a) no longer work in the legal field and b) no longer get or pay child support it has fallen by the wayside.  God Bless & here's the link!

What about a spousal support calculator?

There isn't any such animal.

Then how is spousal support calculated. I.e - I am disabled, can't work and have no SSI money. My spouse makes $115K a year. I figure child support will be about $2300/mo. But what about the rest. Where we live it will take about $2000 to pay rent alone.

Spousal support is determined from a wide variety of factors that vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and the weight of those factors can very easily vary within the jurisdiction, so making a calculator (that has any useful degree of accuracy) is at best, very difficult, if not impossible.

Basically, the judge decides.

Honestly? Maintaining the same standard of living is not likely to be possible. Since you can't work, you're going to have one income trying to support two households. Something's gonna have to give. I wouldn't expect to be able to maintain a 2k/mo rent.
