Clear Child Support Calculations for Real Families
Separation and divorce bring big financial questions: What will you pay or receive each month, and how do courts decide? Alimonify gives you clear, step-by-step calculations based directly on official state guidelines—free from paywalls, forms, or hidden fees.
Clear Answers for Families in Transition
Planning your household budget during a separation or divorce shouldn't require guesswork or an expensive lawyer just to run basic math. Too many online calculators hide answers behind paywalls, sell your contact information to law firms, or refuse to show how they got the numbers.
Alimonify puts real answers directly into your hands. Every calculation runs right in your browser, showing you the exact formulas, state tables, and parenting-time rules that family courts use.
Alimony vs. Child Support: How They Work
People often use "alimony" to mean any post-divorce payment. But under the law, Child Support and Alimony (Spousal Support) are handled very differently:
Child Support (Formula-Based)
Every state has a legal formula to calculate child support. Judges almost always follow this formula unless there are exceptional circumstances. The calculation is based on each parent's income, parenting time (overnights), health insurance, and childcare costs.
Alimony / Spousal Support (Discretionary)
Alimony is designed to help a spouse transition financially after marriage. It weighs factors like length of the marriage, income differences, and each spouse's needs. Unlike child support, most states do not have one mandatory formula—judges have wider discretion.
What Determines Your Support Payment?
Whether you are negotiating, working with a mediator, or consulting a lawyer, these core factors shape the legal calculation:
Built on Official State Guidelines
Federal law requires every state to establish official child support formulas and update them regularly. Alimonify builds directly from published court schedules and state statutes:
Your Financial Information Stays on Your Device
Family finances are deeply personal. Alimonify never asks you to create an account, enter an email address, or share private personal info.
All calculations run completely inside your browser. Your income, custody schedule, and expenses never leave your phone or computer, are never saved to a server, and are never sold to advertisers or lawyers.
