Hawaii Support

In the context of a divorce, Hawaii support can be looked two ways.

1. Spousal Maintenance Support, also known as Alimony

2. Child support

Hawaii support when referring to spousal maintenance or alimony, as it is commonly known, can be permanent or short-term.

As for payment, it can also be done as a single lump sum, asset division, or monthly payments.

Either way, there are several ways to diminish your Hawaii support responsibility.

Now, in order for you to take advantage of the system, understating how the system really works is a priority.

Alimony in Hawaii can be set at the discretion of your county judge in Family court if you and your ex can’t reach an agreement.

Disposable income is a major factor in alimony. Disposable income is defined as your total income less taxes and necessary living expenses.

After your taxes and living expenses are paid the remaining amount is known as "disposable income".

This variance between yours and her disposable income establishes whether or you pay alimony and the amount.

When all's said and done the larger the disposable income gap, the more you’re on the hook for. You want to do everything workable to reduce or even eliminate this mismatch.

There are right and wrong ways to accomplish this. It’s important that understand how the system works and use a proven strategy that is guaranteed to get you the results you want.

Hawaii Support with regard to child support is a special topic. It differs from alimony because child support is not up to the desires of a judge, but determined through guideline formulas.

Little is subject to interpretation, so your disposable income is not a factor.

Child support is determined through guideline formulas based your income, her income, the number of children you have, and the amount of time you spend with your kids each month.

Your expenses, her expenses, and the children's primary expenses are not factors when calculating Child Support in Florida.

Don’t be surprised when additional expenses such as day care and medical expenses are added to the guideline support amount.

As an case in point, if your child needs medical treatment not covered by medical insurance, like braces, this expense is added to your monthly support payments.

You’ll likely be on the hook for approximately half of these “additional” expenses too.

If parents agree to a child support amount without going to court, the judge will generally accept this agreed to child support amount.

Parents frequently arrive at an agreement with no court input. But if you and ex can’t see eye to eye on child support, a judge will employ Hawaii child support guidelines to set the child support payment amount.

Whatever your Hawaii Support concerns; alimony or child support, you need have a strategy that will achieve the results you’re looking for.

In order to minimize the support you’ll have to pay your ex you should do everything possible and use proven tactics to accomplish that goal.
