How exactly is child support calculated in Michigan?
Michigan has a Child Support Guideline that is periodically updated which takes into account the total available income of each parent. Child support is calculated based on the income of both parents and the number of children. If both parents share parenting time with the children for more than 128 days per year, then child support is calculated based on shared economic responsibility which takes into account that each of the parents has a substantial investment in the raising of the children.
