Re: Michigan Child Support Formula Manual

Greetings; The FOC and all judges are required to follow current child support guidelines unless they find good cause to deviate from them. So, no they do not absolutely have to use the guidelines. However, 99% of the referees and judges follow them to the letter. Thanks, Atty. Trichler; www.trichler.com
