Connecticut Administrative Code › Title 46b - Family Law › 215a - Child Support and Arrearage Guidelines › Section 46b-215a-5c - Deviation criteria

Current through July 10, 2024
(a)
Introduction
The current support, health care coverage contribution, and child care contribution amounts calculated under section 46b-215a-2 c of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies, and the amount of the arrearage payment calculated under section 46b-215a-3 a of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies, are presumed to be the correct amounts to be ordered. The presumption regarding each such amount may be rebutted by a specific finding on the record that such amount would be inequitable or inappropriate in a particular case. An agreement of the parties may be sufficient to rebut the presumption when such finding cites one or more deviation criteria, which may include other equitable factors, to support such agreement. Any such finding shall state the amount that would have been required under such sections and include a factual finding to justify the variance. Only the deviation criteria stated in the lettered subparagraphs of subdivisions (1) to (6), inclusive, of subsection (b) of this section, and indicated by the check boxes in section VIII of the worksheet, shall establish sufficient bases for such findings.
(b)
Criteria for deviation from presumptive support amounts
(1) Other financial resources available to a parent
In some cases, a parent may have financial resources that are not included in the definition of net income, but could be used by such parent for the benefit of the child or for meeting the needs of the parent. The resources that may justify a deviation from presumptive support amounts under this subdivision are limited to the following:
(A) substantial assets, including both income-producing and non-income-producing property;
(B) the parent's earning capacity;
(C) parental support being provided to a minor obligor;
(D) the regularly recurring contributions or gifts of a spouse or domestic partner, but only if it is found that the parent has reduced his or her income or has experienced an extraordinary reduction of his or her living expenses as a direct result of such contributions or gifts; and
(E) hourly wages for regular, overtime and additional employment in excess of 45 total paid hours per week, but not to exceed 52 total paid hours per week, provided:
(i) the parent has earned such wages on a regular and consistent basis, and the opportunity to earn such wages is reasonably expected to continue on a regular and consistent basis in the foreseeable future;
(ii) considering such wages as income available for the support determination is in the best interests of the child, including but not limited to parenting time, under the totality of circumstances; and
(iii) such wages shall not be considered income for order modification purposes if the parent is an obligor who is an hourly wage earner and who worked 45 hours per week or less at the time of the establishment of the support order.
