The 2012 Prognosticator has some new enhancements!  Several users asked that the UCSO form be added, so we added it!  The Michigan Child Support Manual and Supplement are included by link, and for assistance in completing the UCSO, an online link to the Michigan State Bar Directory has been added.  Of course, the Prognosticator has been updated for 2012 tax rates, and a choice between 4.2%and 6.2%  payroll tax has been included in the tax screen to allow for whatever Washington, D.C. decides is the appropriate tax rate.  The spousal support calculations have been adjusted for cost of living adjustments, as always.  We do our best to keep you up to date!
