Amount of Support (Support Guidelines)

This form follows the Pennsylvania Support Guidelines, so the results are pretty predictable across different cases. Usually, you fill it out and file it early in the process – right after someone files for support. Once the form is submitted and looked over, the court sets up a support hearing or conference. That’s when a judge or officer can make the support order official.

The form includes things like:

  • Each person’s income
  • Any deductions they’re allowed to claim
  • How many kids or dependents they have

Then it uses a standard formula to calculate how much support is owed.
