Alft & Wilson and Iowa Support Master

 

Our Start

In March, 1994, Mike Alft walked into Patrick Wilson's law office seeking advice. At the time, Patrick was working on a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet in an effort to craft a program that would create and prepare child support calculations based on the Guidelines. During the meeting, Pat learned that Mike was a "programmer". Keep in mind these are the early days of the Internet. On further discussion, Mike and Pat formed Alft & Wilson Publishing. Within months, a software program came about and was named "Iowa Support Master". Many days and nights were spent working on the program.

Today, we estimate that over 2,500 lawyers, judges, mediators, legal assistants, secretaries and law students use Iowa Support Master to calculate child support. Our users are the best of the best in family law and we are proud to be their choice in Iowa child support calculation software.
