Support Scheduler/Arrearage Calculator

One often overlooked extra feature ofย ROCSGย is theย Support Scheduler/Arrearage Calculator. Its purpose is to track support due dates and payment dates so as to provide a full and detailed rendering of the child support account from beginning to end. Calculating arrearages is a snap because utility functions allow you to enter the terms of a support order and any number of modifications so that literally hundreds of transactions can be entered in just a single step. For example, if an obligor was ordered to make $500 payments monthly starting August 15, 2008, you could simply enter the date and amount using theย Support Order utilityย and the program would instantly provide you withย a complete account that details each and every payment, together with a running balance. Let’s further suppose that the obligor started making payments in the beginning but stopped making payments after July 2012. We’ve included another utility called theย Payment Seriesย that will allow you to enter the starting and ending dates of the obligor’s consecutive payments in order to itemize and calculate a running balance on a payment-by-payment basis.

So if you ever encounter a situation where a child support obligor is disputing an arrearage, or you wish to verify the court’s accounting, or you want verify and contest the calculation of interest on an arrearage, theย Support Schedulerย will be your number one tool.

Other Features/Benefits

ROCSGย has been around since 1994 and is used by so many Courts, Agencies, and family law practitioners that it’s easy to forget about all the other functions that have been around since the beginning. Here’s a short list:

  • Withย ROCSGย you’ll be using the exact same program used by your local Domestic Relations Court.
  • You’ll always be up-to-date on the latest law and programming changes becauseย ROCSGย downloads and installs upgrades automatically.

  • Accomodates percentage rate or flat fee processing charges (poundage).

New Interface. Althoughย ROCSGย maintains the same look and feel it’s had for 30+ years, we’ve enhanced the graphic interface to make it quicker and easier to complete calculations. The screens look more like the statutory worksheets and moving from one worksheet to another is merely a quick click away. There are also summary panels at the top of the screen that let you know the final decree amounts with and without health insurance and cash medical support at all times. If you’d like to see the new look, check out theย YouTubeย video referred to above.

New Printouts. While the printed forms still come out print-shop-perfect, we’ve lightened the fills and ruled lines in order to lessen the demands on printers and expanded compatibility with all makes and models of printers.

Taking Friendliness To New Heights. The best help in the business just got a step better. Now, all overrideable and read only fields have aย Data Sourceย command that shows where and how that field is populated byย ROCSG. If you’ve ever scratched your head wondering where a particular figure came from, you won’t any more. Where it’s appropriate you can also select a context-sensitiveย Helpย command that displays a help topic relevant to the exact subject you had a question about. Want more? We’ve also included access toย Instructional Videosย that are available according the section of the worksheets you’re interest in. There are about 2 hours of available videos covering all the finer points of the guidelines. All of this assistance is available by right-clicking your mouse.

Calculations. In the past you may have been sent scrambling for a calculator because you wanted to annualize periodic income amounts (like weekly income) or monthly expenses (like child care expenses).ย ROCSGย has all that tools built in to take care of that. Ourย Annualizerย dialog is shown below. Just enter theย Periodic Amountย and theย Frequency. Press theย Calculateย button to see the results and it you like what you see clickย Acceptย and that amount will be pasted into the worksheet. How slick is that? For other types of calculations that don’t involve annualizing periodic amounts, we’ve also included access to a full-functioned standard calculator that’s only a click away.
