Michigan Child Support Formula Manual

The Michigan Child Support Formula Manual sets forth a formula for the court to determine child support. Although the set formula involves the number of children, the net income of each party, the amount of time the children are in a parent's care, which parent claims the child on tax returns, and the amount of support paid for other children, certain factors may cause deviation from the formula, if the court finds that following the formula would cause an unjust result.
