2025 formula baseline is live
Michigan Courts currently publishes both the 2025 Michigan Child Support Formula Manual and the 2025 Michigan Child Support Formula Supplement.

MDHHS currently points families to the public MiChildSupport Calculator so they can run the same formula framework used in Michigan child support work.
Formula use is mandatory unless the court explains a deviation
MCL 552.605 currently requires Michigan courts to use the child support formula unless the court states why applying it would be unjust or inappropriate.
Friend of the Court review rhythm is ongoing
MDHHS currently states that either parent may request a review every 36 months, while earlier motion practice remains available if the case needs faster action.
Modification threshold is 10% or $50
The current 2025 formula manual states that the minimum threshold for modification is 10% of current support or $50 per month, whichever is greater.
Michigan spousal support stays order-based
Michigan statutes and current uniform spousal support orders frame support through judicial findings and orders rather than a statewide percentage formula.
