Initially the new system will only apply to new cases. Therefore practitioners will need to be able to calculate Child Support under both systems. With the prospect of both systems remaining in place for the foreseeable future, Family Law's highly popular Child Support Calculation Pack has been redesigned to allow practitioners to calculate swiftly and accurately the amount payable under the both the old and new systems. In a single package, the redesigned Child Support Maintenance Calculation Pack helps you effortlessly calculate child maintenance under both formulae.;For all the existing cases (ie cases commenced prior to 3 March, calculated using 2003/2004 benefit rates) the Pack offers: - An outline of the assessment procedures - Step-by-step Child Support Calculation Forms - Completed worked example - Straightforward explanatory notes on how to complete the forms - Guidance on and procedures for Departure Directions - Plus, two spreadsheets for single absent parent and multiple absent parents For all new cases (ie cases commenced after 3 March) the Pack offers: - An outline of the new calculation procedures - Step-by-step Child Support Maintenance Calculation Forms - Straightforward explanatory notes on how to complete the forms - Guidance on the transitional arrangements - Plus, a sophisticated spreadsheet for automatically performing the new calculation through a series of related questions and calculations Now with CD-ROM as standard The spreadsheet version of the Child Support Maintenance Calculation Pack 2003/2004 could not be easier to use.
