HB 2279: Child support

Implementing changes to child support based on the child support schedule work group report.

Summary

  • Adopts a new economic table that does not differentiate amounts based on the children's ages.
  • Allows for an adjustment of the standard calculation, rather than a deviation, based on "children not before the court."
  • Amends the postsecondary educational support statute to, among other things, require the court to consider any grants or scholarships awarded to the child.
  • Clarifies the statute on self-support reserve.
