The Child Support Calculator will ask you a series of questions designed to determine
the ability of each parent to pay and the needs of the child(ren). The Child Support
Calculator is based on the DC Child Support
Guideline*, which was revised effective April 1,
2007. You may find the following documents helpful when using the Child Support
Calculator:
- Pay statements
- W-2 forms
- Custody order for child(ren) in this case
- Child support orders for children living in either parent's home
- Divorce orders for both parents that contain alimony
- Employer-provided health insurance cost breakdown that shows individual plan and
family plan costs
- Proof of medical expenses not covered by insurance
- Letters from Social Security Administration showing SSDI or SSI benefits
- Worker’s Compensation statement
- Veteran’s benefits statement
- Any other evidence of either parent's income
