1. Click the ‘Get Form’ button to obtain the Child Support Worksheet and open it in the editor.
2. Begin with Line 1. Enter the number of natural and adopted children for whom support is to be awarded, ensuring you only include those children directly relevant to this case.
3. Move to Line 2a. Enter both the parent's gross monthly income, which includes various forms of income such as salaries, bonuses, and social security benefits, while excluding any 'means-tested' benefits.
4. For Line 2b, input the previously ordered alimony that is actually paid by either parent. Be sure to verify these payments with appropriate documentation.
5. Proceed to Line 2c and enter any previously ordered child support obligations that either parent has for children not included in Line 1, again providing necessary verification.
6. In Line 2d (optional), you may include amounts from children living in each parent's home from the relevant worksheet if applicable.
7. Calculate Line 3 by subtracting the amounts entered in Lines 2b, 2c, and 2d from the amount entered in Line 2a to determine the Adjusted Gross Income.
8. Refer to the Support Table using the combined figure from Line 3 and the number of children from Line 1 to find the Base Combined Support Obligation for Line 4.
9. For Line 5, divide each parent's adjusted gross income from Line 3 by the combined adjusted gross income to find the percentage each parent contributes.
10. Multiply the figure in Line 4 by the respective percentage for each parent to determine each parent's share on Line 6.
11. Enter the amounts from Line 6 or the amounts from the Low Income table in Line 7 as the Base Child Support Award.
12. Identify which parent is the obligor in Line 8, then answer the question in Line 9 regarding whether the support award matches the guideline amount from Line 7.
13. If applicable, provide reasons for any deviations from the guideline in Line 10.
