Heading: Weekly Child Support Payments

Text: Jack also challenges the Department's order that he pay weekly child support in the amount of $71.95. The Department's factual determination of the amount appropriate in this case was based on substantial evidence in the record before it. See 5 M.R.S.A. § 11007(4)(C)(5) (1979). The hearing officer determined the weekly payment as a percentage of Jack's gross income and was required by Department regulation to consider whether Jack had any circumstances of undue hardship that should be taken into account. On the administrative review of that determination, Jack's attorney admitted that he knew of no relevant facts or circumstances of undue hardship that the first hearing officer had not taken into account. [3] On this record we cannot say that the amount of weekly support Jack must pay is arbitrary or unreasonable. The entry is: Judgment affirmed. All concurring.
