Dear FamilySoft™ SupportCalc^® User:

On April 13, 2009, Governor Gregoire signed into law the new Washington State Child Support Guidelines, to go into effect on October 1, 2009. The new Guidelines mandate sweeping changes to the way child support is calculated. For the first time in 21 years, there are new extended tables. Several key calculations have also changed. Most notably the calculation for "Extraordinary Medical Expense" has been eliminated. Now all medical expenses will be proportioned by ratio of income. Complicating your understanding of child support law, many of the instructions have changed. In preparation for the October 1^st deadline, the AOC, on Thursday, July 29, 2009, released new Child Support Worksheets for comment.

We are going to have new Child Support Guidelines, and a new Child Support Worksheet. These are the most extensive changes in the 21 years Guidelines have existed.

In the interim – between now and October 1 – the old law is still in effect. The question is, will you file your client’s case under the old law or new one? You need to know how the new calculations affect your clients’ cases, so you can advise accordingly.

FamilySoft™ SupportCalc^® 22.5 has your answer. FamilySoft™ SupportCalc^® 22.5 shows the calculated amounts under both the old and new Guidelines. That’s right – a "dual window" in QuickCalc™ showing the old calculated amount, and the new amount – right on your FamilySoft™ screen! And, the synopsis screen will detail how the numbers were calculated under both old and new Guidelines.

You will then receive free updates via the Quick Internet Update in FamilySoft™ between now and October 2009 as the new Child Support Worksheets and Order of Child Support receive comments, eventually finalized and released by the Court.

Buy FamilySoft™ SupportCalc^® 22.5 now and get the immediate benefit of knowing child support amounts under both the new law and the old, and then automatically receive the finalized forms when they are published in October. You should not wait for October 1 to arrive before updating to FamilySoft™ SupportCalc^® 22.5. Use the Order Coupon below to order today. This software is ready for immediate release. We will send it out to you immediately upon receipt of your order and check.

Sincerely,

Stephen L. Sooter
