Terms of use

Guideline Calculator is an independent educational website. It is not a court, government agency, law firm, lawyer referral service or certified filing system.

No legal advice

The calculators and guides provide general estimates and source explanations. They are not legal advice, financial advice, tax advice, court orders or promises about how a court will decide a case. You are responsible for confirming facts, forms, local rules and deadlines before relying on any result.

Supported scope

Use only calculators that are marked as active for your state and situation. A state's absence, planned status or unsupported scenario does not mean support is unavailable or zero. New York results do not apply to other states.

No accounts or paid access

Calculator results and printable summaries are free in this public beta. No account, credit card or paid PDF is required.

Corrections

State rules change. If you find a source or calculation issue, use the operator correction channel once published. Until then, use the official court or child support agency resource for filing and case-specific decisions.
