SB 6581: Child support standards

Revising standards for determining child support obligations.

Summary

When the combined monthly net income of the parents is $600 or less, a support order of not less than $25 per child per month must be entered unless the obligor establishes that it would be unjust or inappropriate. The court takes into consideration the best interests of the child and the circumstances of each parent.
