Can I Use Take-Home Pay to Calculate Child Support?

The latest episode of my podcast, Making Divorce Easier, deals with an issue that arises frequently in child support proceedings. Calculating child support requires knowing your net available income under Pennsylvania support guidelines. This podcast will discuss the differences between take-home pay and net available income. Can you rely on your paystub to calculate child support? This episode answers that question.

Making Divorce Easier Podcast Launched!

My friend Karl Schieneman, who is an expert in the field of electronic discovery and operates a national podcast (ESI-Bytes), got me started this week on my own podcast, Making Divorce Easier. The first episode is entitled “Top Five Tips if You are Getting a Divorce”. It is based on my article “Top Five Things to Do if You Are Separated,” which was posted here.

I am planning additional episodes on a variety of topics, including real estate issues in divorce, tax issues, and more – stay tuned! The podcast will be available later this year on iTunes (so you can listen in the car or on the train), as well as on Talkshoe.com.
