How does child support work in an uncontested divorce?

Child support can be included in your uncontested divorce and parenting plan. Montana uses a guidelines formula that looks at each parent’s income, the number of children, and parenting time.

You and your spouse can agree on a support amount, or the Child Support Enforcement Division (CSED) can calculate it. DoUsPart prepares the divorce and parenting plan documents. We do not represent you in a CSED hearing. If a separate child support case is needed later, that is outside this service.

A judge reviews the agreement to confirm it is appropriate before approving it.
