Child Support Guidelines 

As part of the Parenting Plan, parents will have to state how much money will be paid as child support.   The State of Tennessee has recently revised the Child Support Guidelines.  Since both parents are responsible for the support of their child, these calculations take into account the income of both parents.  If you would like to estimate the amount of support that parents will pay in a divorce or parenting situation,  click on the link below and follow the directions for the Child Support Worksheet.  As this is a fairly complicated formula, it is likely that your attorney or a mediator will have to help you with this process, but it may at least provide a working estimate.
