How do I calculate child support and spousal alimony for a military divorce?

Calculating child support and spousal alimony in a military divorce is similar to calculating these payments in any other divorce. In Nebraska, divorcing spouses will use the state’s child support and spousal alimony worksheet. This document, which is available online, is a standard worksheet that allows couples to input their information and calculate their payments. When calculating child support, Nebraska law uses both parents’ incomes and the amount of time each parent spends with the child to calculate the payments. Any service, awards, or retirement income from the military will be taken into consideration. The court will also consider health insurance, child care costs, and other relevant expenses. Once the calculation is complete, the court will approve the payment amount. Spousal alimony payments are also determined using a worksheet. Factors such as the length of the marriage and the financial need of each spouse are taken into account. Military income and retirement benefits are also considered. After completing the worksheet, the court will approve the alimony payment. In Nebraska, military divorces are handled in the same way as civilian divorces. Spouses should take the time to fill out the state’s child support and spousal alimony worksheets to ensure their payments are fair and accurate.
