FAQ
How Child Support Is Calculated in Washington Step 1: Determine the Combined Monthly Net Income. Step 2: Find the Basic Support Obligation. Step 3: Calculate Each Parent's Share of Income. Step 4: Determine the Paying Parent's Support Obligation.
A parent's support obligation for all biological and legal children may not exceed 45% of his or her monthly net income.
Washington has removed the age brackets and child support is now the same amount (for the basic support) regardless of the child's age. Now, parents with children younger than twelve years old, will be able to receive more support than before even if their divorce case was finalized before January 1, 2019.
As a general rule of thumb, courts in Washington State award one year of alimony for every three or four years of marriage. There is no statute or case law explicitly stating this formula, but it is an oft mentioned rule and generally what courts can be expected to do.
A: The disadvantages of 50-50 custody are that children have a less stable living environment and must frequently move between homes. It can be complicated for both parents and children to frequently switch between homes.
Washington does not have a specific law that gives a 50/50 custody presumption. However, the state does promote joint custody in many cases. Because the state makes custody rulings based on the wellbeing of the child, it tends to preserve the status quo as much as possible.
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.
