​
Real Example: Florida vs California vs Texas

Florida Attorney asks: “Calculate child support. Father earns 80,000/year,motherearns80,000/year, mother earns 50,000/year, 2 children.” Victoria responds: 
Florida Child Support Calculation (Income Shares Model)
Statutory Authority: Florida Statutes § 61.30

Step 1: Calculate Net Income
- Father Gross: $80,000/year = $6,667/month
  Deductions: FICA ($510), Federal Tax ($933), FL has no state income tax
  Father Net: $5,224/month

- Mother Gross: $50,000/year = $4,167/month
  Deductions: FICA ($319), Federal Tax ($467)
  Mother Net: $3,381/month

- Combined Net: $8,605/month

Step 2: Apply Florida Guidelines Schedule
- Combined net $8,605/month × 2 children
- Per FL § 61.30(11) schedule: Basic Obligation = $1,750/month

Step 3: Pro-Rate by Income Share
- Father's share: 60.7% × $1,750 = $1,062/month
- Mother's share: 39.3% × $1,750 = $688/month

FLORIDA uses NET income (unique - most states use gross)
Child Support Obligation: Father pays $1,062/month
California Attorney asks: Same facts Victoria responds: 
California Child Support Calculation (Income Shares Model)
Statutory Authority: California Family Code § 4055

California uses the GUIDELINE FORMULA (not a schedule):

CS = K[HN - (H%)(TN)]

Where:
- H% = Higher earner's % of combined net disposable income
- K = 1 + H% (for 1 child) or 2 - H% (for 2+ children)
- HN = Higher earner's net monthly disposable income
- TN = Total net monthly disposable income

Step 1: Calculate Net Disposable Income
- Father: $80,000/year = $6,667/month gross
  Mandatory deductions (taxes, FICA, health insurance, etc.)
  Father NDI: ~$5,400/month

- Mother: $50,000/year = $4,167/month gross
  Mother NDI: ~$3,600/month

- Combined: $9,000/month

Step 2: Apply Guideline Formula
- H% = 60% (Father's share)
- K = 2 - 0.60 = 1.40
- CS = 1.40[$5,400 - (0.60 × $9,000)] = 1.40 × $600 = $840/month

CALIFORNIA uses complex algebraic formula, not schedule
Child Support Obligation: Father pays $840/month
Texas Attorney asks: Same facts Victoria responds: 
Texas Child Support Calculation (Percentage of Income Model)
Statutory Authority: Texas Family Code § 154.125

Texas uses PERCENTAGE OF OBLIGOR'S NET RESOURCES (simpler):

Step 1: Calculate Obligor's Net Monthly Resources
- Father (non-custodial): $80,000/year = $6,667/month
  Deductions: Social Security, Medicare, income tax, union dues, health insurance
  Net Resources: ~$5,200/month

Step 2: Apply Percentage Guidelines
- 2 children = 25% of net resources (per TX Fam. Code § 154.125(b))
- $5,200 × 25% = $1,300/month

TEXAS uses simpler percentage model - only obligor's income matters
Child Support Obligation: Father pays $1,300/month

Note: Texas caps net resources at $9,200/month for guideline calculations
Same family, three different results:
  • Florida: $1,062/month (Income Shares with NET income)
  • California: $840/month (Income Shares with complex formula)
  • Texas: $1,300/month (Percentage of Income model)
Victoria knows these differences and applies the correct method automatically based on your case’s jurisdiction.

​
Spousal Support Jurisdiction Intelligence

Spousal support is even MORE jurisdiction-specific than child support. Victoria knows: Formula-Based Jurisdictions:
  • California: 35% or 40% guidelines (varies by county)
  • Colorado: Advisory guidelines with formulas
  • Texas: Generally disfavored, strict statutory limits
Factor-Based Jurisdictions:
  • Florida: No formula - 19 statutory factors under § 61.08
  • New York: Multi-factor analysis under DRL § 236
  • Ontario: Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines (SSAG) - ranges, not formulas
Example - California vs Florida Spousal Support: California (Formula-Based): 
Temporary Spousal Support (Santa Clara County guideline):
- 35% of higher earner's net - 40% of lower earner's net
- Father net: $5,400 × 35% = $1,890
- Mother net: $3,600 × 40% = $1,440
- Temporary support: $1,890 - $1,440 = $450/month

CRITICAL: This is TEMPORARY only - permanent support requires full analysis
Florida (Factor-Based, No Formula): 
Florida Spousal Support Analysis (§ 61.08):

Victoria analyzes 19 statutory factors:
1. Standard of living during marriage
2. Duration of marriage (affects type: bridge-the-gap, rehabilitative, durational, permanent)
3. Age and condition of parties
4. Financial resources of each party
5. Earning capacities, educational levels, vocational skills
... (15 more factors)

Marriage Length: Determines support type
- < 7 years = Short-term (no permanent alimony)
- 7-17 years = Moderate-term (durational possible)
- 17+ years = Long-term (permanent possible)

Income Disparity: $80k vs $50k (38% gap)
Recommendation: Rehabilitative support $800-1,200/month for 2-4 years
(based on factor analysis, NOT a formula)

FLORIDA has NO spousal support formula - purely factor-based
Victoria applies the correct method based on jurisdiction—formula where applicable, factor analysis where required.

How Victoria Uses This Knowledge

When you ask Victoria to calculate child support or spousal support, she:
  1. Identifies your case’s jurisdiction from the case metadata
  2. Retrieves the specific statutes and calculation method for that jurisdiction
  3. Applies the correct model (Income Shares, Percentage, Melson, or formula/factor-based for spousal support)
  4. Shows her work with step-by-step calculations citing statutory authority
  5. Accounts for jurisdiction-specific nuances (e.g., Florida’s use of NET income, Texas’s resource cap, California’s algebraic formula)
Example Prompts: 
"Calculate child support for this Florida case"
"What's the guideline spousal support for California?"
"Run Georgia child support calculation with shared custody adjustment"
"Analyze Ontario spousal support under SSAG"

​
Best For

  • Complex asset division calculations (community property vs equitable distribution)
  • Jurisdiction-specific child support calculations (Income Shares, Percentage, Melson)
  • Spousal support analysis (formula-based or factor-based)
  • Business valuation review
  • Income analysis and imputation
  • Financial discovery review
  • Deviation arguments (when guideline support is unjust)
Upload financial documents to LexVault first for the most accurate calculations based on actual data. Victoria will extract income, assets, and expenses from uploaded W-2s, tax returns, pay stubs, and financial affidavits.

​
When to Use Financial Analyst

Use Financial Analyst when you need: ✅ Child support calculations (guideline or deviation analysis) ✅ Spousal support/alimony analysis (temporary or permanent) ✅ Asset division (community property or equitable distribution) ✅ Income imputation (underemployment or unemployment) ✅ Business valuation review ✅ Standard of living analysis ✅ Financial affidavit analysis Don’t use Financial Analyst for: ❌ Legal strategy (use Co-Counsel instead) ❌ Discovery document organization (use Discovery Manager instead) ❌ Drafting motions (use Co-Counsel instead)

​
Best Practices

Victoria’s calculations are most accurate when based on actual uploaded documents:Before asking for calculations:
  1. Upload W-2s, pay stubs, tax returns
  2. Upload financial affidavits
  3. Upload bank statements for asset verification
  4. Upload business tax returns if self-employed
Then ask Victoria: “Calculate child support based on the W-2s and pay stubs I just uploaded”Victoria will extract actual income figures rather than relying on estimates.
While Victoria knows your case’s jurisdiction, explicitly mentioning it helps:❌ “Calculate child support” ✅ “Calculate Florida child support under F.S. § 61.30”This ensures Victoria applies the correct guidelines and shows statutory citations.
For accurate calculations, provide:Child Support:
  • Both parents’ gross/net income
  • Number of children
  • Health insurance costs (who pays, how much)
  • Childcare costs
  • Timesharing percentage (if shared custody)
  • Other children from other relationships
Spousal Support:
  • Both parties’ income
  • Length of marriage
  • Standard of living during marriage
  • Age and health of parties
  • Earning capacity and education
  • Contributions to education/career
If guideline support seems unjust, ask Victoria to analyze deviation factors:“The Florida guideline is $1,062/month but father has extraordinary medical expenses. Analyze potential deviation under § 61.30(1)(a)”Victoria will identify jurisdiction-specific deviation factors and help build your argument.
If parties live in different states or considering relocation:“Compare California vs Texas child support for this family. Mother is relocating to Texas.”Victoria will show how support changes across jurisdictions.

​
Cost Tracking

Financial Analyst uses Claude Opus 4.1 for maximum calculation precision: Typical Usage:
  • Simple child support calculation: ~$0.10-0.15
  • Complex support with deviations: ~$0.20-0.30
  • Full financial analysis (support + assets + spousal): ~$0.40-0.60
Why Opus? Financial calculations require precision that Sonnet/Haiku may lack for complex algebraic formulas, multi-factor analysis, and asset division.
