    Child support calculator
    Just wondering if anyone knows where I can get a good free online C.S. calculator to figure a best estimate. Already have court order, but ex-wife is requesting it be reviewed and increased. I'd just like to know what were in for. Several factors have changed since the orig. order.

    Every state has an online calculator that are pretty fairly reliable. I, however, don't know what state you are in or what state has jurisdiction if different from the state you are in.

    Thanks, although this one doesn't take into consideration that we have another child. Im pretty sure you get some kind of credit for having another child(ren) that you support..

    That is my problem with that particular site - the disclaimer states that it's sort of a rule of thumb estimate: "These calculators do not take into account any possible adjustments for children who are not subject to the custody order but who are living with one of the parents. These factors and others may affect a child support order entered by a court."

    The calculators may be a starting point but they are very often insufficient if you are planning on making a decision based on their content.
