1996 SESSION
SB 497 Child support; imputed income.
Introduced by: Mark L. Earley | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Child support; imputed income. Requires a minimum monthly payment of $65 if the parties' combined monthly gross income is less tham $599. Allows the Department of Social Services to rebut the child support guidelines by imputing income to either parent who is voluntarily unemployed or who fails to provide income verification upon request. Income may not be imputed if a child is not in school, if child care services are not available or if the costs of child care are not included in the basic monthly support obligation.
It should be noted that the criteria for administratively imputing income are not the same as the criteria used by the courts (i.e., the Department may not impute income to a party who is voluntarily underemployed) and that the prohibitions on administrative imputation are written in the disjunctive, rather than the conjunctive as is the case with imputation by the courts (compare § 20-108.1 B 3).
