Tennessee Child Support is an unusual issue because unlike alimony, it’s not left to the discretion of a judge, but calculated using Tennessee guideline formulas.

Very little is subject to analysis, so disposable income is not a factor in the decision.

Tennessee child support is determined through Tennessee guideline formulas that take into consideration your income, you ex-wife’s income, how many children you have, and the amount of time you spend each month with your kids.

Your expenses, your ex-wife’s expenses, and the children's principal expenses are not part of the calculation of Child Support in Florida.

It should be noted however that additional expenses such as day care and medical expenses are often added to the guideline support.

So for example, if your child needs medical treatment not covered by medical insurance, like braces, this medical expense will be in addition to your regular 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 by avoiding the court, the judge will by and large allow this agreed to child support quantity.

Parents often reach agreements without court involvement. If however you and the mother of your child cannot agree on child support, a judge will use the Tennessee child support guidelines to determine your child support payment.

In order to eliminate your Tennessee Support anxiety around alimony or child support, you need strategies that will get the results you want.
