Example. Father, Single with child(ren) less than 50% of overnights, $60,000 Guidelines Income, $1,400 Tax Benefit per
Exemption; Mother, Single with child(ren) more than 50% of overnights, $20,000 Guidelines Income, $1,000 Tax Benefit per
Exemption. Father shall receive exemption(s). Mother is entitled to a pro rata share of father's $1,400 Tax Benefit per
Exemption. Mother's pro rata share is 25% ($20,000/$80,000). Therefore, mother will receive a $350 annual addition per
exemption (25% x $1,400) or $29.17 addition per month per exemption to the basic child support award.
* For purposes of calculation of the Idaho child support obligation. Tax Benefit includes both the dependency exemption
benefit and the child tax credit benefit. The child tax credit is $400 per exemption for a child under 17 years old in 1998.
(c) Health insurance premiums and health care expenses not covered by insurance. (1) For each child support order,
consideration should be given to provision of adequate health insurance coverage for the child. Such health insurance should
normally be provided by the parent that can obtain suitable coverage through an employer at the lower cost. The actual cost
paid by either party for health insurance, including, but not limited to orthodontic, optical, and dental, shall be prorated
between the parents in proportion to their Guidelines Income. These payments shall be in addition to the child support award
and will be paid directly between the parties. The pro rata share of the monthly insurance premium may instead be either a
credit against or in addition to the basic child support obligation.
(2) Any claimed health care expense for the children (whether denominated as psychiatric, psychological, special education,
addiction treatment, or counseling in any form and including regular medical or dental care), whether or not covered by
insurance, which would result in an actual out-of-pocket expense to the parent who did not incur or consent to the expense of
over $500, must be approved in advance, in writing, by both parties or by prior court order. Relief may be granted by the Court
for failure to comply under extraordinary circumstances and the Court may, in its discretion, apportion the incurred expense in
some percentage other than that in the existing support order and in so doing, may consider whether consent was unreasonably
requested or withheld.
Section 9. Income Verification. In all cases (contested, uncontested, or stipulated), the Affidavit Verifying Income and the Child
Support Worksheet shall be provided to the court by the plaintiff or moving party. They shall be in substantially the forms
attached as Appendix A and B or C to these Guidelines. The Affidavits Verifying Income and the Child Support worksheets shall be
placed in the court file. The social security number of each party shall be placed on one of the appendices and on the pleading
of the party.
Section 10. Computations. (a) Basic Child Support. The basic child support obligation shall be based upon the Guideline Income
of both parents, according to the rates set out in the schedules below: (the amounts are rounded off to the nearest dollar)
