This jurisdiction combines both parents' incomes to estimate what would have been spent on the children, then divides that obligation proportionally.
Shared-time credit begins at 92 overnights/year using the cross-credit method. Adjusted obligation cannot fall below 25% of base.
Schedule applies up to $30,000/mo combined. Income may be imputed when underemployment is found.
Health insurance premiums, work-related childcare, and uninsured medical are added on top of basic support and split by income share.
Self-support reserve of $1,400/mo is preserved before support is calculated. Statutory minimum order: $50/mo.
Modifications generally require a 15% change in circumstances and may be reviewed every 3 years. Support continues to age 18.
State child support enforcement office handles collection, wage withholding, and license sanctions for unpaid orders.
Courts may deviate from guideline amounts when fairness requires. Imputed income may apply if a parent is voluntarily underemployed.
