Alabama requirements and review scope

CS-41 income affidavit and CS-42; CS-42-S for shared physical custody. Use Alabama Rule 32(B) to determine the amounts counted for each party.
Wages, dividends, interest, business earnings, and other countable income are added separately for each party. Enter each dollar once; do not repeat business profit as an owner distribution.
General asset balances, loan balances, and household spending are not collected in this support-calculation workflow. Enter countable earnings from assets. A separate court financial affidavit may require additional disclosures.
Business and rental deductions must be expenses allowed for support, which can differ from tax-return deductions. Do not deduct personal living expenses as business expenses.
Uses the Alabama Administrative Office of Courts Schedule of Basic Child-Support Obligations for Rule 32.
Rule 32 rounds incomes and final support to whole dollars, rounds each income share to a whole percent, and uses the nearest schedule row with midpoint ties upward. The ordinary self-support reserve and minimum-order comparison are applied.
Work-related child care, health insurance, shared-custody Form CS-42-S, preexisting-support deductions, minimum-order exceptions and deviations require the full Alabama worksheet.
The first schedule row covers combined adjusted gross income from $0 through $250.

This calculator applies the published state guideline formula and has been tested against the official schedule and published examples. When a case needs a worksheet line listed above, the calculator stops and identifies that line instead of estimating it. Compare your result with the official sources linked here.
