Incomes come, and incomes go. Jobs are lost. Fortunes are made and squandered.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but life fluctuations are the rule of the day. And a simple reality of your PA family law practice is the idea that any divorce settlement might be revisited—at any given time. Your client calls you, and if you’re not prepared, then you’re stuck playing the forensic lawyer role: digging up documents, numbers, and case information. A huge pain in the side—and a situation that’s ripe for mistakes.

What’s An Easy Way to Calculate PA Child Support?

If you’re a divorce attorney practicing family law in Pennsylvania , you know what all divorce lawyers do. Pennsylvania child support calculations are complicated. Even if you’re great at math, computations for base support amounts and then accounting for various adjustments such as custody or childcare—can give you a headache.

But if you plan things strategically, your client’s divorce settlement can result in higher disposable incomes not only for him or her—but for both parties . If this is a job you like to leave to your client’s CPA, don’t. Have your software perform the work—and deliver better service to your client.

Last December, Easy Soft launched EzSupport-PA , new Pennsylvania family law software. The software is designed for divorce lawyers —not CPAs or tax attorneys.

Coupled with our Divorce Financials Software, PA divorce lawyers get every tool they need for their family law practice.

The software:

•  Allows you to compare multiple support scenarios side-by-side, and choose the best option.

•  Records all case information from the outset—and uses it to populate financial statements, correspondence, court documents, etc.

•  Adjusts your support calculation to account for shared parenting, multiple families, and other extenuating circumstances.

Once you’ve entered the case data, the software does the heavy lifting. The resulting worksheet details a variety of scenarios. For each scenario, it provides a statutorily precise bottom line: one number for spousal support, and another number for child support.

Easy—just like our name.

EzSupport-PA – The Story Behind Our Newest Pennsylvania Family Law Software

Easy Soft’s family law software—including Divorce Financials, Case Information Statement and FamilyDocs—are gold standards for New Jersey divorce lawyers.

When we created Pennsylvania family law software, we wanted to not only replicate the value proposition we provided in New Jersey—but also to increase it. So we looked for two things.

We looked for states whose child and spousal support formulas were—like NJ’s—complex.

We also looked for states in which the array of divorce law software presented only a partial solution—not the comprehensive solution that family lawyers (especially smaller firms) really need. One solution might provide for automated calculations—but not forms automation. Another solution might furnish forms—but no calculations. In the states with complex calculations, we knew there would be a need and an appreciation for the kind of software we envisioned for family lawyers.

The state we chose was Pennsylvania. As with New Jersey, the child and spousal support calculations in PA are mind-bogglingly complex—and require specialized training to grasp and complete.

We seized on new PA divorce law software as an opportunity to create even more value, and provide not just a Pennsylvania support calculator—but PA family law forms, too.

For each case, from form to form, what information remains the same? The answer is income. County of residence. Children’s names and ages. Second home data, etc.

With our new PA divorce law software, all of this case data is captured at the outset. So it makes sense to use the captured data to generate a comprehensive suite of case-specific documents—documents whose format is case-specific, and court-approved.

In addition, Easy Soft’s EzSupport- PA includes technical support, training, educational support, and practice customizations that demonstrate we don’t believe in add-on fees. Please look for our next blog posts for details as to why.

Our state family law software is founded on the premise that maximum value contributes to happy lawyers. Click here to read more about EzSupport-PA!

Pennsylvania Divorce Lawyers: Get Yourself A PA Child Support Calculator

Make a $50 mistake in a bankruptcy case: that’s a one-time mistake. In a divorce settlement, the same mistake may cost your client—and his or her children—up to $50 per week, for years. That’s a cost you have to live with.

The solution is to be dead accurate every time. Right?

If you’re a divorce attorney practicing family law in Pennsylvania, you know that’s easier said than done. Pennsylvania divorce calculations are complicated. Even if you’re a bona fide math whiz (given that you went to law school, we’re guessing you’re not), computations for base figures—such as net disposable income or assets & liabilities distribution—can make your head spin.

But properly planned divorce settlements result in higher disposable incomes for both parties—and lower tax liabilities. Helping clients find a divorce settlement that minimizes their tax obligations is not only a matter of professional responsibility: it’s an economic reality.

On December 6, 2010, Easy Soft launched a software package to make things easy. EzSupport-PA, a Pennsylvania Family Law Software is designed for divorce lawyers—not CPAs or tax attorneys. Coupled with the Divorce Financials program, PA lawyers get every tool they need for their family law practice. The software:

  • Captures all case information from the outset—and uses it to populate forms, statements, pleadings, and the like.
  • Adjusts support calculation for shared parenting, multiple families, excess mortgages, and the like.
  • Allows you to prepare multiple support scenarios, compare and pick the best option.

Once you’ve entered the information, our Pennsylvania divorce law softwaredoes the heavy lifting. The resulting worksheet details a variety of scenarios. For each scenario, it provides a statutorily precise bottom line: one number for spousal support, and another number for child support.

Easy—just like our name.

What’s more, the new Pennsylvania Family Law Software isn’t just a powerful divorce calculator: it provides you an opportunity to automate Pennsylvania family law forms, too. These include:

  • Pleadings: Complaints. Answers. Claims. Counterclaims. Motions. Notices. Summons.
  • Supporting Documentation: Income Statements. Expense Statements.
  • Correspondence: Letters. Responses.

You can virtually add any type of form and use case data to auto populate your forms.

Easy Soft has been around for 25 years. We’re stable, and we’re competent. We began working with family law and divorce attorneys 20 years ago. We know the challenges of your practice.

Our divorce law software is thorough—and it works. Our portfolio consists of the Divorce Financials product—applicable to all 50-states—and state-specific divorce and support solutions for Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and soon Arizona. Add practice management software such as legal billing software, attorney trust account software, and the like, and we are a one-stop shop.
