Terms of Service

By accessing and using the SupportCalc website at calcsupport.org (the "Site"), you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Site.

These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Site. We reserve the right to modify or replace these Terms at any time. Your continued use of the Site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.

SupportCalc provides free, web-based child support estimation tools designed to help users estimate child support obligations based on publicly available state guidelines. Our services include:

• State-specific child support calculators for all 50 U.S. states
• Informational content about child support laws and guidelines
• Frequently asked questions and educational resources
• State-by-state comparisons and guideline explanations

The Site is provided free of charge for personal, non-commercial use. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Site at any time without notice.

Child support calculations generated by our tools are estimates based on publicly available state guidelines. Actual child support orders are determined by courts and may differ from our estimates due to factors including but not limited to:

• Judicial discretion and case-specific considerations
• Additional expenses not captured by guideline formulas (e.g., extraordinary medical costs, educational expenses, special needs)
• Deviations from guidelines permitted by state law
• Court-ordered adjustments based on the best interests of the child
• Inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated input data provided by users

You should not rely solely on our calculations for legal, financial, or personal decisions. Always consult with a qualified family law attorney licensed in your jurisdiction for advice specific to your situation.

You agree to use the Site only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to:

• Use the Site in any way that violates any applicable federal, state, local, or international law or regulation
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Site, other accounts, computer systems, or networks connected to the Site

• The formulas reflect the most current version of your state's guidelines at all times
• Any errors in the Site will be corrected

Calculations are based on publicly available guidelines and may not account for all factors considered by a court. State laws change periodically, and there may be a delay between when a law changes and when our calculators are updated.
