Description

Child Support Guidelines Worksheet - The Massachusetts Child Support Guidelines Worksheet — is a form used by the court system in Massachusetts to calculate the amount of child support owed by a non-custodial parent. It takes into account the financial information of both parents and establishes the amount of child support the non-custodial parent should pay. The worksheet is based on state guidelines and takes into account factors such as each parent’s income, taxes, health insurance, and childcare costs. The Massachusetts Child Support Guidelines Worksheet can be broken down into two different types: the ‘short form’ and the ‘long form’. The short form is used when the combined parental income is less than $250,000 and the long form is used when the combined parental income is greater than $250,000. The long form also takes into account additional factors such as the amount of time each parent spends with the child, any other children the custodial parent has, and any assets or debts either of the parents may have.
