Statistical data specifies that 50% of first time marriages will end in divorce. And, more often than not, the end of a marriage involves child custody and child support issues. So Rosen Divorce, located in Raleigh, NC, recognized a need for families to have the ability to quickly and easily determine child support and developed an online Child Support Calculator.

The Child Support Calculator contains formulas that allow parents or attorneys in North Carolina to input the significant information, including monthly income and the amount of time the children spend with each parent, to determine each parent’s child support obligation. The user can fill in the information and the child support calculator will determine obligations for both parties.

Lee Rosen, a Board Certified Family Law Specialist stated, “We have found that parents really want what is best for their children and the calculators have allowed them to quickly determine their [financial] obligations.” Using the guidelines established by the Conference of Chief District Court Judges, Rosen Divorce developed the child support calculator software to facilitate child support calculations. Rosen said, “We created this software and put it on our website so that anyone can access this information,” “Because the calculator is so easy to use, the response has been overwhelmingly favorable.”

Rosen noted that because his firm’s practice is focused exclusively on divorce law, they can address the many complex aspects of divorce and separation such as child custody, alimony and property distribution and keep up with emerging trends such as the new Collaborative Divorce option.
