Frequently asked questions

What does this total obligations calculator show?

It combines your estimated Utah child support and alimony into a single monthly figure so you can see your total support obligation — and roughly what's left of your take-home pay — in one place.

Are child support and alimony calculated the same way?

No. Child support follows Utah's fixed income-shares formula (§ 81-6-304), while alimony has no formula and is set by a judge using a needs-and-ability analysis. This tool estimates each separately and adds them together.

Is alimony tax-deductible against my income?

For divorces finalized after 2018, no — under federal law alimony is neither deductible by the payer nor taxable to the recipient, so both amounts here are after-tax cash flow. This is not tax advice.

Can my combined obligation change later?

Yes. Either support type can be modified on a substantial change in circumstances, and child support can generally be reviewed about every three years, so your total can go up or down over time.
