Parents' Income Matters

When parents' combined gross incomes exceed $80,000 (by law), other factors besides an income percentage formula may be taken into account when a child support order is formalized. Laws are designed to cover the majority of cases. However, there are always special situations and exceptions which may be brought to the attention of family court judges.

Special Circumstances Matter: Health Care, Tuition

Other special considerations include un-reimbursed, uncovered and deductible medical expenses (such as eye glasses or contact lenses), and child care during time that the custodial parent is employed or going to school. The courts consider on a case by case basis special educational needs for children such as tutoring, remedial courses, and similar educational needs. College expenses including tuition, room and board are add-on expenses.
