RECENT CHANGES TO SUPPORT GUIDELINES - be sure to check, some parts eff. IMMEDIATELY! (Aug 2008)

PENNSYLVANIA RULES OF COURT – The Support Guidelines are Rule 1910 and its subsections.    Most people are interested in seeing the chart, which is Rule 1910.16-3.  The first column is now the combined net monthly income.  The definition of what is included in “net monthly income” is found at 1910.16-2(c).  The formula is provided in Rule 1910.16-4. The Rules also contain information on support when multiple families are involved, reduced or fluctuating income, split custody and many other issues. We cannot calculate your support payments for you.
