Before you order

Your Questions, Answered

Most important question

Why does using a tax-focused service matter for child and spousal support?

California child and spousal support is based on net disposable income — not gross income. That means tax treatment, deductions, filing status, healthcare costs, and other financial inputs directly affect the final support amount.

Our service approaches the calculation from the tax side first, so the final report reflects how the guideline calculation actually works — resulting in a more accurate report.

Do you help me understand the report?

Yes. Your completed report includes explanations and notes. You can also contact your assigned support professional through your dashboard if you need clarification.

What if I get new information later?

You can request a revised report from your account after any open orders are fulfilled. Revisions are available for a small fee for up to 180 days after the original order.
