Montana Support

Montana support as a point of reference to a divorce can be interpreted two different ways.

1. Spousal Maintenance Support, also known as Alimony

2. Child support

Montana support when talking about spousal maintenance or alimony, as it is commonly known, can be permanent or temporary.

Regarding payment, it can be done as a onetime lump sum, monthly installments, or as a division of assets.

Either way, there are several ways to minimize your Montana support burden.

In order to use the scheme to your benefit, first you must realize how the system works.

Alimony in the Montana of Montana is either settled by both parties or established at the pleasure of your county judge, if you and your ex don’t come to an agreement.

Disposable income is a main factor in alimony and it’s defined as total income minus taxes and essential living expenses.

What income remains once your taxes and living expenses are paid is known as "disposable income".

It is the gap in disposable income between her disposable income and yours that will determine whether or not you pay alimony and how much.

Fundamentally the larger the disposable income disparity, the more you’ll pay. That means you want to do everything to reduce or even eliminate this variance.

There are right and wrong ways to achieve this, so it’s vital to know how the system works and use a proven strategy sure to get the results you desire.

Montana Support when referring to child support is a different matter. Unlike alimony, Child support is not up to the discretion of a judge, but calculated using 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.

Factors excluded from calculating child support in Montana are your expenses, her expenses, and the children's principal costs.

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.

Chances are good you’ll be on the hook for roughly half of any “additional” expenses.

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