Northern Michigan Attorneys Helping Parents Understand Child Support Guidelines
For some parents, understanding their financial rights and responsibilities in child support matters, the business side of family law, isn't easy. At our own family business, the Northern Michigan law offices of Amberg, Amberg and Williams North, we've successfully advised clients with child support issues.
Whether you're divorcing, separating or simply not together anymore, child support is of paramount importance. The need to be fair to children and their primary custodians is essential to a harmonious post-divorce relationship. Our experienced Amberg, Amberg and Williams North child support lawyers will help you make sense of our state's child support guidelines.
Michigan child support law is based on a strict formula. The guidelines and calculations can be found in the Michigan Child Support Formula Manual, which was established and is regularly updated by state court administrative offices. We can advise you on your child support questions under the guidelines.
For whatever family law, child support or child custody issue you face, we've proven we can creatively remedy it at Amberg, Amberg and Williams North in Northern Michigan. Call us toll-free to schedule your free initial consultation.

Personal Service, Reliable Advice, Effective Representation
Factors in the Michigan child support manual that are used to determine the amount of child support, medical support and child care obligations are:
- Mother’s net income
- Father’s net income
- Number of children
- Custodial arrangements
- Spousal support level
- Other child support obligations
- Custody of any other children
- Health care costs for minor children
- Child care costs for minor children
Once child support is set by a Michigan court, it may be changed in the future, but not until requirements set forth in the child support formula are satisfied. Please keep this in mind: Child support can only be changed for the future, not retroactively modified to affect past support.
