Michigan uses Child Support Guidelines that utilize the number of children, the incomes of both parties and the number of overnights that each child spends with a parent to calculate child support, but how child support is calculated is extremely important to the outcome of a court order.
1
Do the number of overnights depend on those that are actually exercised?
Yes. The court may take into account the number of overnights actually exercised by each parent when reviewing child support. If a parent is not exercising parenting time, that may be a relevant consideration.
2
Can the cost of providing health insurance be included in the calculation?
Yes. The costs of health insurance premiums as they relate to providing insurance for a minor child is a relevant expenses that can be used in the graph to fairly apportion this expense.
