    A volunteer team of child support enthusiasts from mediation and DCSE have met over a year to put together new and intensely helpful training tools to level up what we can do in child support mediation. Although most of the work was done by Sr. Assistant Attorney General Mitch Broudy, and all accolades (and complaints) should go to him. Seriously, though, you do not want to skip these tools. Our 1 hour together will be a mere primer for everything you can learn. And even if you know everything there is to know about calculating support, you’ll probably still be able to learn something new. You might figure out how to keep SSDI and SSI benefits distinct in your head, or how to break down a military Leave and Earning Statement better. Perhaps you haven’t dealt much with the Split-Shared Custody complex guidelines or you aren’t studied at tax considerations. We won’t learn it all in an hour, but you’ll know where to find it!

    **Pending approved of 1.0 hours CME credit (0.0 ethics) by the Supreme Court of Virginia**

    This presentation will be recorded and made available to registrants for 30 days post-webinar.
