The Child Support Guidelines have been due for an update, and the DOJ has obliged. They have posted new table figures which will be used to make Guideline Child Support calculations from December 31, 2011 onwards. The adjustments are not even across the board. In some higher income cases, obligations have been nudged slightly higher. For some medium income calculations, the payor is actually required to forward less money. If you have a child maintenance obligation, or if you are receiving child maintenance, it would be a good idea to look at the new tables.
