This tool gives an estimate for general information only. It is not legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship. It applies the Pa.R.C.P. 1910.16-4 spousal support/APL percentages and does not calculate child support, high-income cases, or post-divorce alimony, which a court decides under 23 Pa.C.S. § 3701 factors with no formula. Courts can adjust guideline amounts for additional expenses or special circumstances. Rules and percentages can change, so confirm with a Pennsylvania family law attorney.
