These changes include:


  • Mandatory Low-Income Adjustment

    Courts will no longer have the option to apply a deviation for low-income parents.  It will be required, helping ensure support amounts are fair and realistic.


  • Required Parenting Time Adjustment The amount of time each parent spends with the child will directly impact the final support amount, moving away from the current discretionary model.


  • VA Disability Offsets

    When a child receives VA benefits due to a parent's disability, that amount will now be considered a part of the support calculation, possibly reducing the noncustodial parent's payment obligation.
