HB 731 Child or spousal support; clarify factors that court shall consider when determining support.

Introduced by: Michele B. McQuigg | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Determination of child or spousal support; factors. Revises, clarifies the wording, expands, and eliminates some of the factors that the court may consider in deviating from the guideline amount. Deviation factors were changed to allow for evaluation of the good faith and reasonableness of the parent's employment decisions when considering imputed income based on a party's change in employment, consideration of the cost of visitation travel, and consideration of the standard of living for the child during the marriage, rather than the family.   There is a provision that the amendments are not retroactive and cannot be the basis for a material change in circumstances upon which a modification of child support may be based.  This bill is identical to SB 167.
