Child Support Worksheet

Overview

CaseMark's Child Support Guidelines Worksheet skill automates the complex process of drafting court-ready child support calculations. By extracting financial data from uploaded documents and applying jurisdiction-specific guideline models, it produces accurate, citation-backed worksheets that are ready for court submission or negotiation.

Drafting child support worksheets manually requires attorneys to sift through stacks of financial documents, convert income figures to monthly amounts, apply complex statutory formulas, and format everything to court specifications. A single calculation error or missed deduction can delay filings, trigger court rejections, or produce unfair outcomes for clients.

CaseMark automates the entire child support worksheet process—from extracting and organizing financial data across multiple documents to applying the correct guideline model and generating a court-ready calculation. Every figure is cited to its source document, gaps are flagged for follow-up, and the final output is formatted for immediate filing.

How it works

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

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

  3. 3. Review the draft worksheet with flagged gaps and source citations for every figure

  4. 4. Export the court-ready 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's model and applies the correct formula and statutory tables to your calculation.

How does CaseMark handle missing financial documentation?

When income or expense documentation is incomplete, CaseMark automatically flags each gap with a [MISSING — REQUEST] notation. This ensures you know exactly what to request from opposing counsel or your client before filing.

Can CaseMark calculate imputed income for unemployed or underemployed parents?

Yes. When a parent appears voluntarily unemployed or underemployed, CaseMark identifies the issue and provides a framework for imputed income based on work history, education, and local wage data, citing the jurisdictional basis for imputation.

Does the worksheet comply with my court's required form format?

CaseMark generates worksheets that follow jurisdiction-specific formatting requirements, including official caption formats and mandated form structures. You can review and adjust the output to match any local court rules before filing.

Can I use this for child support modification filings?

Absolutely. CaseMark handles both initial child support calculations and modification filings. Upload the current support order alongside updated financial documents, and the AI will calculate the revised obligation and highlight material changes.

How does CaseMark handle self-employment income?

CaseMark calculates self-employment net income by deducting only ordinary and necessary business expenses from gross receipts. It also computes both employee and employer FICA portions and applies jurisdiction-specific rules for voluntary deductions.
