Is it possible that you mean "trial" date? Have you and your spouse worked out the details of your divorce between you already? Or are you going to have the Judge decide the issues of property distribution, etc.? Generally the court will review the agreements made as between the parties as to child support issues. States generally have their own statutory support guidelines that must be followed when calculating the amount of child support the non-custodial parent (the one that the child does not live with on a day to day basis) has to pay to the custodial parent. It may be the day that the court will issue the divorce and accept the agreement made. Check with an attorney in your area as to the stage of the proceedings you are up to and what needs to be done hereafter. Good luck.
