2007 Military Pay Charts and BAH (to be updated soon!)

In determining child support in Tennessee and Kentucky, the parent that is awarded custody receives child support from the non-custodial parent for the benefit of the children.  Calculating the applicable amount of child support that will be ordered, unless the court deviates from the child support guidelines, starts with determining the income of the parent who must pay the child support.  When the parent that will pay child support is a military service member, the starting point for calculating support is the service member's base pay.  While the base pay itself does not constitute the actual amount of support, it is an integral component in the calculation.  To assist with determining the income available to soldiers for child support purposes, the 2007 military pay chart is listed below for your review.  If you need assistance having child support awarded, modified, or calculated, please contact one of our attorneys for assistance.
