This is an estimate for information only — not legal advice, and not a court calculation. Judges can and do deviate from guideline amounts. For the number a court would use, see Administrative Order 23-02.
This number is a snapshot. Child support depends on parenting time, and parenting time drifts — swapped weekends, changed holidays, summer schedules. Vireo keeps the custody calendar, messages and shared expenses in one timestamped record, so what actually happened is never a matter of memory.
See what Vireo tracks →How Rhode Island calculates child support
Subtract required and any allowed optional adjustments from each parent's monthly gross income; combine adjusted income; determine each income share; select the basic obligation from the schedule; add net work-related child care; multiply by each parent's share; order the noncustodial parent's amount plus cash medical support.
How income is counted: Monthly gross income and resources of both parties, including actual earnings and earning potential, with required deductions and optional court adjustments identified on the guideline worksheet.
