FAQ
A new spouse's income is not usually included in child support calculations. But, it can affect the remarried parent's finances. An increase in household income might lead to a reassessment of child support.
The guideline states that the paying spouse's support be presumptively 40% of his or her net monthly income, reduced by one-half of the receiving spouse's net monthly income. If child support is an issue, spousal support is calculated after child support is calculated.
There is No Specific Formula for Spousal Support Unlike with child support, there is no formula that will tell you whether or not you will get spousal support or how much you will get. Spousal support is decided on a case-by-case basis.
After a divorce, it's common for one spouse to make payments to the other as part of the divorce agreement. These payments can be alimony, child support or a mix of both.
Unlike child support calculations in Michigan, there is no set formula that judge must use to calculate the amount and duration of spousal support. Judges must consider various factors to determine whether to award alimony and if so, how much.
In Michigan, either spouse can ask for spousal support in a divorce. It's important to understand that for the court to consider a request for support, you must address it in your initial divorce paperwork. For the filing spouse, you'll have to tell the court you need financial support in your petition for divorce.
An award of spousal support isn't automatic in a Michigan divorce case. While there is no legal requirement for spousal support, it is awarded on a case-by-case basis depending on the facts of the matter and the needs of the dependent spouse. In some cases, spousal support is not awarded at all.
