The documents behind this site
Every figure tied to a mailed document comes from one of the two PDFs below. The federal law finding cites federal statutes and regulations directly, and its figures are computed by the model, not read off either PDF.
- Comments to the Chief Justice on the 2025 Child Support Guidelines, with exhibits and attachments Comments to the Trial Court, current The comments as they go to the Chief Justice of the Trial Court: the federal-law finding, the asks, the charts of income pairs against the federal limit on wage withholding, the proposed language section by section, the worked example line by line, and the fifty-one-jurisdiction comparison. Public copy: the author's contact details are removed. PDF

The PDF is the record. The site is how to check it
A recipient sees the PDF. These pages restate the same figures and asks with direct links a PDF can’t offer. Where wording differs, the PDF governs.
