Documentation quality matters

DocketMath’s results are only as good as the inputs you provide. Try to match how income is actually reported:

• W-2 wages where available
• Pay stubs for current earnings
• Consistent treatment of bonuses/commissions (include only if you can substantiate them)

Quick self-check: get the units right

Before you run anything, verify the format matches what the calculator expects:

Where to find each input

Knowing where to pull numbers from reduces guesswork and rework. Here are practical places to gather information for Wyoming (US-WY) calculations.

Most inputs live in the case file, contracts, or docket entries. Dates usually come from the triggering event notice; rates and caps come from governing documents or statute; and amounts come from the ledger or judgment. Record the source for each value so the run is reproducible.

Income

• Pay stubs (current): best for baseline monthly gross income
• Recent W-2s / IRS transcripts (historical): helpful when income varies year to year
• Employer statements: can confirm overtime averages or stable commissions
• Self-employment: use a consistent method (for example, averaging recent business income) so you don’t rely on a single unusual month

Health insurance

• Employer benefit portal / HR documentation showing the premium
• If a parent pays through a spouse or third party, use the actual monthly amount paid

Childcare

• Receipts or invoices showing weekly/monthly rates
• Payment confirmations (bank statements can corroborate amounts)

Parenting-time / custody schedule

• Your proposed schedule (or the current interim order, if one exists)
• Calendar-based details: DocketMath needs enough clarity to reflect time allocation

Extraordinary medical costs

• EOBs (explanations of benefits) and pharmacy receipts
• If costs are irregular, monthly averaging can be helpful for modeling—just be consistent in how you estimate

Step-by-step

1. Open the tool: /tools/alimony-child-support
2. Enter your information, typically including:

   • monthly income for each parent
   • number of children
   • insurance and childcare amounts (if applicable)
   • parenting-time allocation
3. Review the output summary and note any fields that appear sensitive to the numbers you entered.

How outputs typically change when you change inputs

These are practical “cause and effect” checks to help you sanity-check results:

• Higher income for a parent → generally increases that parent’s support obligation (all else equal)
• More parenting time for the other parent → often reduces the obligation attributed to the other parent, depending on how time credits are applied in the calculator
• Higher childcare and health insurance costs → can increase support if the model includes those add-ons
• Changing the number of children → changes the structure of the baseline support calculation

Wyoming timeframe context (general statute note)

Wyoming has a general statute of limitations period of 4 years for matters covered by Wyo. Stat. § 1-3-105(a)(iv)(C), as reflected in the Wyoming Legislature’s materials.

• This is not a claim-specific limitation analysis.
• General/default period only: No claim-type-specific sub-rule was found in the provided guidance, so treat 4 years as a general baseline rather than a guaranteed rule for every family-law scenario.
