Form 14 Child Support Amount Calculation Worksheet Page 11

ADVERTISEMENT

An adjustment is appropriate in a proceeding to establish a child support order or
to modify the support payable under an existing order. However, the adjustment available
to the moving parent in an action to increase or decrease the support payable under an
existing order shall be the lesser of:
(1) The adjustment to which that parent was entitled when the existing order was
entered, or
(2) The adjustment to which that parent is entitled as a result of an order entered
after the existing order.
A. COMMENT: If the court is establishing both child support and maintenance,
the court shall first determine the appropriate amount of maintenance. This amount shall
be included as an addition to the gross income (line 1a) of the parent receiving the
maintenance and as a reduction in the gross income (line 2b) of the parent paying the
maintenance.
Line 2c: Adjustment to gross income for other children in primary physical custody
DIRECTION: Enter the monthly amount of the support obligation of the parent for any
children in his or her primary physical custody and not the subject of this proceeding.
The amount of the adjustment is the amount in the schedule of basic child support
obligations that represents that parent's support obligation based only on that parent's
gross income and without any adjustment for other children for whom that parent is
responsible.
