Child Support Worksheet

Overview

CaseMark's Child Support Guidelines Worksheet skill automates the complex process of drafting court-ready child support calculations. It extracts financial data from uploaded income documents, applies jurisdiction-specific guideline models, and produces a comprehensive worksheet with properly cited figures and flagged gaps.

Preparing child support worksheets requires painstaking extraction of financial data from multiple documents, manual conversion of income figures to monthly amounts, and careful application of jurisdiction-specific guideline formulas. A single calculation error or missed deduction can delay proceedings, invite challenges from opposing counsel, or result in an incorrect support obligation.

CaseMark automates the entire child support worksheet process—from income extraction and deduction calculation to guideline application and final obligation determination. The AI identifies the correct jurisdictional model, cites every figure to its source document, and flags missing information so attorneys can focus on strategy and advocacy rather than arithmetic.

How it works

  1. 1. Upload income documents, custody arrangements, and child-related expense records for both parents

  2. 2. AI extracts financial data, identifies the applicable jurisdiction's guideline model, and calculates obligations

  3. 3. Review the drafted worksheet, verify flagged items, and customize any imputed income or deviation arguments

  4. 4. Export the court-ready child support worksheet in your preferred format (DOCX, PDF)

Questions

Which state guideline models does CaseMark support?

CaseMark supports all major guideline models including income shares, percentage of income, and hybrid approaches. The AI identifies the applicable jurisdiction and applies the correct calculation methodology to your worksheet.

How does CaseMark handle self-employment income?

CaseMark extracts self-employment gross income and deducts only ordinary and necessary business expenses per guideline rules. It also calculates both employee and employer FICA portions and flags any questionable deductions for your review.

Can it calculate imputed income for an unemployed or underemployed parent?

Yes. When a parent appears voluntarily unemployed or underemployed, CaseMark flags the issue and provides a framework for imputing income based on work history, education, and local wage data. You can customize the imputed figure before finalizing.

What if I'm missing financial documents for one parent?

CaseMark automatically flags any missing documentation with a [MISSING — REQUEST] notation so you know exactly what discovery or disclosure requests to pursue. The worksheet can still be generated with available data.

Can I use this for child support modification filings?

Absolutely. CaseMark is designed for both initial child support calculations and modification filings. Upload the current order alongside updated financial documents, and the AI will generate a new worksheet reflecting changed circumstances.

Does the output match my court's required form format?

CaseMark generates worksheets that follow standard guideline worksheet structures and can be adapted to local form mandates. You can specify your jurisdiction's caption format and any court-specific requirements before generating the document.
