HB 2407 Child support; shared custody.

Introduced by: William K. Barlow | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Child support; shared custody. Replaces the use of a specified number of days (110-day threshold) as an automatic trigger for shared custody, and changes the multiplier from 1.25 to 1.4 in order to allow a more gradual decrease in child support for any given number of days of visitation or custody, and thereby reduces the “cliff effect.” The bill defines a “day” for shared custody purposes. This bill is a result of a study conducted by the Virginia Bar Association Coalition Committee on Family Law Legislation in response to HJR 141 (1998). The Committee issued a report (House Document 43, 1999). This bill is identical to SB 1085.
