FAQ
Tennessee calculates child support payments based on an income share model. This method assumes that a child should receive the same share of their parent's income in divorce, as they would have received if their parents had stayed together.
The court normally starts by looking at the supporting spouse's actual earning history. Every amount of income whether it is taxed or not is considered. After the court looks at taxed income, they can then look at the assets that are likely to be awarded to the supporting spouse, which also includes separate property.
Changes found in the new Guidelines include a more expansive definition and details of what counts as “gross income” and greater guidance on what to consider when calculating imputed income for a parent, meaning income the parent could be expected to earn with reasonable effort.
The court will consider the following factors when addressing the issue of alimony: Each party's current earnings and potential future earning capacity. Each party's financial obligations and needs. The education and training of each party. Whether either spouse has special health needs or any disabilities.
If the check must be payable to the custodial parent, please include the SDU as the co-payee. For example, please make the check payable to “custodial parent and/or the state SDU.” Sending payments electronically to state SDUs is another way to ensure payments arrive quickly and safely.
