SB 5344: Child support enforcement

Changing provisions relating to child support enforcement.

Summary

  • A party, or the Department of Social and Health Services if public assistance is involved, may bring a motion for modification of a child support order if the order varies 20 percent or more from the amount that would be required by the child support schedule. This does not apply if the order includes an amount that was a deviation from the schedule, and the order provides reasons for the deviation.
