Summary

Update to child support guidelines. Provides for updated child support guidelines. The new guidelines specify obligors' monthly child support obligation on the basis of gross monthly income in increments up to $35,000, with an additional amount calculated as a percentage of gross monthly income above $35,000. The bill allows the court to set a support obligation below the presumptive statutory minimum for obligors who earn up to 150 percent of the federal poverty level, provided that such lower amount does not seriously impair the custodial parent's ability to maintain minimal adequate housing and provide other basic necessities for the child. The bill also removes the $250 floor on reasonable and necessary unreimbursed medical or dental expenses that parents are required to pay in proportion to their gross incomes. This bill is a recommendation of the Child Support Guidelines Review Panel.
