Terms of Use
Updated November 12, 2026 Sources and methodology
By using Family Support Math, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site. The terms apply to the calculators, guides, and any other content on the domain.
Educational use only
The calculators and articles are educational tools. They are not legal advice, tax advice, or financial advice. They do not create an attorney-client relationship, and they are not a substitute for a licensed family law attorney in your state. The site is not a law firm.
Child support and alimony are decided by courts and agencies under state law. The facts of your case, local rules, judicial discretion, and documents we do not see can change the result. Do not rely on an estimate for a court filing, a settlement, or a financial decision without independent professional review.
Accuracy and updates
We use primary sources (statutes, court rules, state schedules, and official calculators) and we review the pages when those sources change. Even so, the law changes, tables are revised, and errors are possible. The estimates are provided “as is” without a warranty of accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose.
The “last updated” date on each page shows the most recent review. If you find an error, please contact us with the state, the figure, and the official source so we can correct it.
No guarantee of results
A calculator result is not a prediction of a court order, a settlement, or an agency decision. We do not guarantee that any estimate will match the official calculator, the court’s worksheet, or the final order. Different income figures, add-ons, parenting-time rules, and deviations can produce different results.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Family Support Math and its contributors are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the site or reliance on an estimate. This includes lost profits, lost opportunities, or costs of substitute services. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so part of this section may not apply to you.
Intellectual property
The site’s original text, design, and code are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You may link to the site and quote short passages with attribution. You may not copy the calculators or the content in bulk, republish them as your own, or use them to train a competing product without written permission.
Government statutes, schedules, and forms are public records and are not claimed as our intellectual property. The site’s explanations, examples, and calculator implementation are original work.
Third-party links
The site links to official state calculators, statutes, and other resources. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, availability, or privacy practices. A link is not an endorsement of every statement on the destination site.
Advertising
The site may display advertising, including Google AdSense. Ads are labeled as advertisements and are separate from the editorial content. We do not endorse the products or services in the ads, and we are not responsible for the advertisers’ claims or practices.
Changes to the terms
We may update these terms as the site changes. The “last updated” date at the top of the page shows the current version. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms.
