Child support is ordered in every case, even if it is zero. Child Support is based on a formula that factors in each parents' income. In some cases, the amount of child support can be related to the amount of time spent with the children. Child support is enforced by the Friend of the Court and the Judge, who can issue orders of contempt in order to mandate the payment of arrearages if the parent paying support falls too far behind. The Michigan Child Support Formula contains significant changes effective October 1, 2008. Your child support attorney should be familiar with what is changed.
