is included in the parent's monthly gross income on line 1. If the parent's childcare costs
exceed the income earned or to be earned during the time period in which the parent
incurs or will incur the childcare costs, neither the income nor the child care costs shall
be included.
If the amount of the actual work-related child care costs for each child is not
available or cannot be verified, the amount of the reasonable work-related child care costs
of the parent entitled to receive support attributable to each child who is the subject of
this proceeding shall be calculated by dividing the total monthly reasonable work-related
child care costs of the parent entitled to receive support by the total number of children
for whom the child care costs are incurred or are to be incurred.
A. COMMENT: It is preferable to include the reasonable work-related child care
costs of the parent entitled to receive support in the calculation of the presumed child
support amount.
However, the work-related child care costs of the parent entitled to receive support
may be excluded from calculation of the presumed child support amount if an event that
will significantly affect the amount paid for work-related child care by the parent entitled
to receive support, such as a child's entry into school, will occur with predictability
within a short period of time. The parent obligated to pay support may be ordered to pay
any percentage of the reasonable work-related child care costs of the parent entitled to
receive support without a finding by the court or administrative agency that the presumed
child support amount is unjust or inappropriate.
