Where is the scale that is used in setting the amount of a child support order?
You can review the child support guideline by accessing the external link option on this Web site and selecting the link to the Child Support Guidelines. The guidelines are part of the Code of Virginia, Section 20-108.2. Please keep in mind that many factors are involved in determining a child support obligation and unless all of the figures that are used are accurate, the amount of support determined will not be correct. The child support guidelines require all financial information to be in monthly amounts. The instructions on child support guidelines state that to convert weekly amounts to monthly, multiply the weekly amount 4.33 times; to convert bi-weekly amounts to monthly, multiply the bi-weekly amount 2.167 times; and to convert semi-monthly amounts to monthly amounts, multiply the semi-monthly amount two times; and to convert annual amounts to monthly amounts, divide the annual amount by 12. If you have a Virginia case and feel that your order should be reviewed, please refer
