Is Income From a Second Job Included When Calculating Child Support? The short answer is yes, income from any source whatsoever to either parent is typically taken into account when calculating child support.
Federal law requires public (State and local) and private employers to report all newly hired or rehired employees who are working in Michigan to the State of Michigan.
Self-employed parents must maintain careful records of their income sources and business expenses. These records serve as evidence during child support proceedings. The court may scrutinize bank statements, tax returns and business records to establish a comprehensive financial picture.

Notification: It's generally advisable for the individual to inform the child support agency or the court about significant changes in income, including obtaining a second job. This transparency can help avoid potential legal issues down the line. State Laws: Child support laws vary significantly by state.
