Add Text Field To Legal Michigan Child Support Forms For Free

While it is possible for parents who get back together to end child support payments, it's crucial for them to formally remarry if they want to achieve their goals. If they simply move back in together under the same roof, there is no guarantee that the court will terminate the obligation to pay child support.

Either parent can file a motion asking the judge to change child support. You can use our Do-It-Yourself Motion to Change or Get Child Support tool.

The child support formula is based on each parent's income, the number of children, the amount of parenting time each child spends with each parent, and certain child-related expenses. The Court will order child support in the amount determined by the formula unless there is a good reason to deviate from it.

The court orders a flat percentage of 25% of the non-custodial parent's income to be paid in child support to the custodial parent.

If a parent wants a change in support for any reason, they must file a motion asking to change child support. The Michigan Child Support Formula is used to calculate child support. If either parent asks to start child support or to change it, the judge will use the formula to decide the amount of support.

If you already have a child support order in your existing case, either party can file a Motion Regarding Support asking the judge to change the support amount. The moving party (the parent asking to change support) must show the judge there is a reason for the change.
