Common Questions About Estimating Alimony

Yes, significantly. In nearly all states, child support is calculated first. The payment of child support reduces the higher earner's income available for alimony, and the receipt of child support can reduce the lower earner's need. Our calculator accounts for this by subtracting child support payments before estimating net income.
