How Child Support Is Calculated in Virginia

The State of Virginia relies on presumptive child support guidelines to determine child support. A formula is used to calculate the amount that should be paid as child support. This formula takes into account various factors in order to determine the exact amount that is payable. Some of the factors considered include: 

• The child’s age and gender
• The number of children 
• Any special academic, medical, or physical needs of the child 
• The relationship that the parents have with the child 

Each of the parent’s gross income, childcare expenses, and the cost of maintaining health insurance are all considered in calculating liability in child support cases. Gross income in Virginia encompasses all sources of income including: 

• Salaries, commissions, wages, dividends, royalties, and severance pay
• Trust income, pensions, capital gains, and annuities 
• Unemployment insurance benefits 
• Social security benefits 
• Workers compensation benefits 
• Veterans benefits 
• Disability insurance benefits 
• Prizes, gifts, and awards 
• Rental income 
• Spousal support and much more
