This study utilizes survey data from 20 states to determine the extent to which individuals who regularly calculate child support awards using these state formulas do so accurately. We find that individuals who regularly calculate child support awards often arrive at different support award amounts because of the &.complexity of the state guidelines, human error, differences in their experience and training, and lack of computerization. Adopting simpler formulas would reduce errors; this should be a priority even if child support officials use computers to calcu ;ate award amounts. Efforts to further the training and education of personnel who calculate awards would also help, and child support offices should revise their formulas to cover high-income cases.
