What This Site Does

Child Support Estimate is a free tool that helps parents estimate child support payments in all 50 states. It uses income shares, percentage of income, and Melson formula models depending on state. All calculations happen in your browser. We do not store income figures, parenting schedules, or family information on our servers.

Information We Collect

Information you enter into the calculator

Income amounts, custody schedules, and state selections stay in your browser. We do not store this data.

Information you submit through the consultation request form

If you request a free consultation, we collect:

• Your name, email address, and phone number
• Your state
• Whether you pay or receive child support (or are not sure)
• Your situation (new order, modification, arrears/enforcement, or custody change)
• A rough monthly income range you select
• Any optional notes you choose to add
• A record of your consent to be contacted (the consent wording, date, and time), plus the page and button you used

We use this information only to connect you with a family law attorney serving your state and to keep a record of your consent.

Who Receives Your Consultation Request

Child Support Estimate is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Family law attorneys or law firms may pay us a flat advertising fee to be the featured sponsor for a state. We are not paid based on whether you hire an attorney or on the outcome of your case.

When you submit the consultation form, your information is shared with one licensed family law attorney or law firm that advertises on this site for the state you selected. If no sponsor is active in your state, we may share your request with one licensed family law attorney in your state who has agreed to receive referrals, or we may not share it at all. Attorneys are bound by their state bar's professional conduct and confidentiality rules. Sharing your information with an attorney through this site does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship.

We also use service providers that host our website and database. They process this information only on our behalf.

We do not sell your information to data brokers or other marketers, and we do not share your calculator inputs.

Calls, Texts, and Your Consent

By checking the consent box on the form, you agree that we and the attorney or law firm receiving your request may contact you by phone, text message, and email about your child support matter, including with automated technology or prerecorded messages. Consent is not required to use any calculator or to buy anything. Message and data rates may apply. You can opt out at any time by replying STOP to a text, telling the caller, or emailing us at the address below.

How Long We Keep Lead Information

We keep consultation requests and consent records for up to 5 years so we can show proof of consent if asked, then delete them. You can ask us to delete your request sooner, except where we must keep the consent record to meet a legal obligation.
