Divorcepath generates support calculation reports used by lawyers, mediators, and self-represented parties. These reports are designed to make inputs, assumptions, and outputs easier to review.
The calculator guides users through family composition, income, tax, and expense inputs in order to calculate support under the Federal Child Support Guidelines and the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines.
When reviewing a report generated in Divorcepath, courts and other decision-makers should consider the following:
- whether the factual information entered by the user is complete and accurate
- whether any manual overrides or custom tax assumptions were applied
- whether the report notes any ceilings, floors, exceptions, or other scenario-specific cautions
Divorcepath calculations are tested across a wide range of scenarios, but the reliability of the result still depends on the quality of the inputs and the legal assumptions applied to the matter.
