SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Child support. Revises the child support guideline by (i) providing that "gross income" shall not include income received by the payor parent from a second job that was taken in order to pay off child support arrearages and that cessation of the income is not the basis for a material change in circumstances; (ii) replacing the provision for "extraordinary medical and dental expenses" with a requirement that the parents pay in proportion to their incomes any reasonable and necessary unreimbursed medical or dental expenses in excess of $250 per year per child; (iii) making computation and payment of medical and dental expenses in sole and split custody arrangements identical to that for shared custody arrangements (under which expenses are allocated in accordance with the parties' income shares and paid in addition to the basic child support obligation); (iv) directing the court to consider actual tax savings a party derives from the child-care cost deductions or credits; and (v) changing the guideline review from being completed every three years to being completed every four years. This bill is identical to HB 511.
