The Court will order child support to be based on minim wage. Many people have questions as to how to calculate the net income of an individual as it could be very confusing.
Simply put, we take the gross income of parent that is obligated to pay support and subtract social security, federal taxes, cost of health insurance for the child, and union dues. The calculation can get tricky when the non-custodial parent is self-employed and does not obtain a regularly scheduled paycheck. Do not get caught up with the numbers! Call Attorney Hatamleh for a consultation get a detailed explanation of the calculation.
