Section
78-45-7.2
is amended to read:
115
78-45-7.2. Application of guidelines -- Rebuttal.
116
(1) The guidelines apply to any judicial or administrative order establishing or
117
modifying an award of child support entered on or after July 1, 1989.
118
(2) (a) The child support guidelines shall be applied as a rebuttable presumption in
119
establishing or modifying the amount of temporary or permanent child support.
120
(b) The rebuttable presumption means the provisions and considerations required by
121
the guidelines, the award amounts resulting from the application of the guidelines, and the use
122
of worksheets consistent with these guidelines are presumed to be correct, unless rebutted
123
under the provisions of this section.
124
(3) A written finding or specific finding on the record supporting the conclusion that
125
complying with a provision of the guidelines or ordering an award amount resulting from use
126
of the guidelines would be unjust, inappropriate, or not in the best interest of a child in a
127
particular case is sufficient to rebut the presumption in that case. If an order rebuts the
128
presumption through findings, it is considered a deviated order.
129
(4) The following shall be considered deviations from the guidelines, if:
130
(a) the order includes a written finding that it is a [nonguidelines order] deviation from
131
the guidelines;
132
(b) the guidelines worksheet has the box checked for a deviation and has an
133
explanation as to the reason; or
134
(c) the deviation was made because there were more children than provided for in the
135
guidelines table.
136
(5) If the amount in the order and the amount on the guidelines worksheet differ[, but
137
the difference is less than] by $10 or more, the order shall [not] be considered deviated and the
138
incomes listed on the worksheet may not be used in adjusting support for emancipation.
139
(6) (a) Natural or adoptive children of either parent who live in the home of that parent
140
and are not children in common to both parties may at the option of either party be taken into
141
account under the guidelines in setting or modifying a child support award, as provided in
142
Subsection (7). Credit may not be given if:
143
(i) by giving credit to the obligor, children for whom a prior support order exists would
144
have their child support reduced; or
145
(ii) by giving credit to the obligee for a present family, the obligation of the obligor
146
would increase.
147
(b) Additional worksheets shall be prepared that compute the obligations of the
148
respective parents for the additional children. The obligations shall then be subtracted from the
149
appropriate parent's income before determining the award in the instant case.
150
(7) In a proceeding to modify an existing award, consideration of natural or adoptive
151
children born after entry of the order and who are not in common to both parties may be
152
applied to mitigate an increase in the award but may not be applied:
153
(a) for the benefit of the obligee if the credit would increase the support obligation of
154
the obligor from the most recent order; or
155
(b) for the benefit of the obligor if the amount of support received by the obligee would
156
be decreased from the most recent order.
157
(8) (a) If a child support order has not been issued or modified within the previous
158
three years, a parent, legal guardian, or the office may petition the court to adjust the amount of
159
a child support order.
160
(b) Upon receiving a petition under Subsection (8)(a), the court shall, taking into
161
account the best interests of the child, determine whether there is a difference between the
162
payor's ordered support amount [ordered] and the payor's support amount that would be
163
required under the guidelines. [If]
164
(i) If the current amount was ordered prior to January 1, 2008, there is a difference of
165
25% or more, the difference is not of a temporary nature, and the order does not deviate from
166
the guidelines, the court shall adjust the amount to that which is provided for in the guidelines.
167
(ii) If the current amount was ordered on or after January 1, 2008, there is a difference
168
of 10% or more [and], the difference is not of a temporary nature, and the order does not
169
deviate from the guidelines, the court shall adjust the amount to that which is provided for in
170
the guidelines.
171
(c) A showing of a substantial change in circumstances is not necessary for an
172
adjustment under Subsection (8)(b).
173
(9) (a) A parent, legal guardian, or the office may at any time petition the court to
174
adjust the amount of a child support order if there has been a substantial change in
175
circumstances. A change in the base combined child support obligation table set forth in
176
Section
78-45-7.14
is not a substantial change in circumstances for the purposes of this section.
177
(b) For purposes of Subsection (9)(a), a substantial change in circumstances may
178
include:
179
(i) material changes in custody;
180
(ii) material changes in the relative wealth or assets of the parties;
181
(iii) material changes of 30% or more in the income of a parent;
182
(iv) material changes in the employment potential and ability of a parent to earn;
183
(v) material changes in the medical needs of the child; and
184
(vi) material changes in the legal responsibilities of either parent for the support of
185
others.
186
(c) Upon receiving a petition under Subsection (9)(a), the court shall, taking into
187
account the best interests of the child, determine whether a substantial change has occurred. If
188
it has, the court shall then determine whether the change results in a difference of 15% or more
189
between the payor's ordered support amount and the payor's support amount [of child support
190
ordered and the amount] that would be required under the guidelines. If there is such a
191
difference [and], the difference is not of a temporary nature, and the order does not deviate
192
from the guidelines, the court shall adjust the amount of child support ordered to that which is
193
provided for in the guidelines.
194
(10) Notice of the opportunity to adjust a support order under Subsections (8) and (9)
195
shall be included in each child support order issued or modified after July 1, 1997.
196
Section 3.
Section
78-45-7.5
is amended to read:
197
78-45-7.5. Determination of gross income -- Imputed income.
198
(1) As used in the guidelines, "gross income" includes prospective income from any
199
source, including earned and nonearned income sources which may include salaries, wages,
200
commissions, royalties, bonuses, rents, gifts from anyone, prizes, dividends, severance pay,
201
pensions, interest, trust income, alimony from previous marriages, annuities, capital gains,
202
Social Security benefits, workers' compensation benefits, unemployment compensation,
203
income replacement disability insurance benefits, and payments from "nonmeans-tested"
204
government programs.
205
(2) Income from earned income sources is limited to the equivalent of one full-time
206
40-hour job. If and only if during the time prior to the original support order, the parent
207
normally and consistently worked more than 40 hours at his job, the court may consider this
208
extra time as a pattern in calculating the parent's ability to provide child support.
209
(3) Notwithstanding Subsection (1), specifically excluded from gross income are:
210
(a) cash assistance provided under Title 35A, Chapter 3, Part 3, Family Employment
211
Program;
212
(b) benefits received under a housing subsidy program, the Job Training Partnership
213
Act, Supplemental Security Income, Social Security Disability Insurance, Medicaid, Food
214
Stamps, or General Assistance; and
215
(c) other similar means-tested welfare benefits received by a parent.
216
(4) (a) Gross income from self-employment or operation of a business shall be
217
calculated by subtracting necessary expenses required for self-employment or business
218
operation from gross receipts. The income and expenses from self-employment or operation of
219
a business shall be reviewed to determine an appropriate level of gross income available to the
220
parent to satisfy a child support award. Only those expenses necessary to allow the business to
221
operate at a reasonable level may be deducted from gross receipts.
222
(b) Gross income determined under this Subsection (4) may differ from the amount of
223
business income determined for tax purposes.
224
(5) (a) When possible, gross income should first be computed on an annual basis and
225
then recalculated to determine the average gross monthly income.
226
(b) Each parent shall provide verification of current income. Each parent shall provide
227
year-to-date pay stubs or employer statements and complete copies of tax returns from at least
228
the most recent year unless the court finds the verification is not reasonably available.
229
Verification of income from records maintained by the Department of Workforce Services may
230
be substituted for pay stubs, employer statements, and income tax returns.
231
(c) Historical and current earnings shall be used to determine whether an
232
underemployment or overemployment situation exists.
233
(6) Gross income includes income imputed to the parent under Subsection (7).
234
(7) (a) Income may not be imputed to a parent unless the parent stipulates to the
235
amount imputed, the party defaults, or, in contested cases, a hearing is held and [a finding
236
made that the parent is voluntarily unemployed or underemployed] the judge in a judicial
237
proceeding or the presiding officer in an administrative proceeding enters findings of fact as to
238
the evidentiary basis for the imputation.
239
(b) If income is imputed to a parent, the income shall be based upon employment
240
potential and probable earnings as derived from employment opportunities, work history,
241
occupation qualifications, and prevailing earnings for persons of similar backgrounds in the
242
community, or the median earning for persons in the same occupation in the same geographical
243
area as found in the statistics maintained by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
244
(c) If a parent has no recent work history or their occupation is unknown, income shall
245
be imputed at least at the federal minimum wage for a 40-hour work week. To impute a greater
246
income, the judge in a judicial proceeding or the presiding officer in an administrative
247
proceeding shall enter specific findings of fact as to the evidentiary basis for the imputation.
248
(d) Income may not be imputed if any of the following conditions exist and the
249
condition is not of a temporary nature:
250
(i) the reasonable costs of child care for the parents' minor children approach or equal
251
the amount of income the custodial parent can earn;
252
(ii) a parent is physically or mentally [disabled to the extent he cannot] unable to earn
253
minimum wage;
254
(iii) a parent is engaged in career or occupational training to establish basic job skills;
255
or
256
(iv) unusual emotional or physical needs of a child require the custodial parent's
257
presence in the home.
258
(8) (a) Gross income may not include the earnings of a minor child who is the subject
259
of a child support award nor benefits to a minor child in the child's own right such as
260
Supplemental Security Income.
261
(b) Social Security benefits received by a child due to the earnings of a parent shall be
262
credited as child support to the parent upon whose earning record it is based, by crediting the
263
amount against the potential obligation of that parent. Other unearned income of a child may
264
be considered as income to a parent depending upon the circumstances of each case.
265
Section 4.
Section
78-45-7.7
is amended to read:
266
78-45-7.7. Calculation of obligations.
267
(1) For all worksheets, income and support award figures shall be rounded to the
268
nearest dollar. Each parent's child support obligation shall be established in proportion to their
269
adjusted gross incomes, unless the low income table is applicable. Except during periods of
270
court-ordered parent-time as set forth in Section
78-45-7.11
, the parents are obligated to pay
271
their proportionate shares of the base combined child support obligation. If physical custody of
272
the child changes from that assumed in the original order, modification of the order is not
273
necessary, even if only one parent is specifically ordered to pay in the order.
274
(2) Except in cases of joint physical custody and split custody as defined in Section
275
78-45-2
and in cases where the obligor's adjusted gross income is $1,050 or less monthly, the
276
base child support award shall be determined as follows:
277
(a) combine the adjusted gross incomes of the parents and determine the base
278
combined child support obligation using the base combined child support obligation table; and
279
(b) calculate each parent's proportionate share of the base combined child support
280
obligation by multiplying the combined child support obligation by each parent's percentage of
281
combined adjusted gross income.
282
(3) In the case of an incapacitated adult child, any amount that the incapacitated adult
283
child can contribute to his or her support may be considered in the determination of child
284
support and may be used to justify a reduction in the amount of support ordered, except that in
285
the case of orders involving multiple children, the reduction shall not be greater than the effect
286
of reducing the total number of children by one in the child support table calculation.
287
(4) In cases where the monthly adjusted gross income of [the obligor] either parent is
288
between $650 and $1,050, the base child support award shall be the lesser of the amount
289
calculated in accordance with Subsection (2) and the amount calculated using the low income
290
table. If the income and number of children is found in an area of the low income table in
291
which no amount is shown, the base combined child support obligation table is to be used.
292
(5) The base combined child support obligation table provides combined child support
293
obligations for up to six children. For more than six children, additional amounts may be
294
added to the base child support obligation shown. Unless rebutted by Subsection
78-45-7.2
(3),
295
the amount ordered shall not be less than the amount which would be ordered for up to six
296
children.
297
(6) If the monthly adjusted gross income of [the obligor] either parent is $649 or less,
298
the tribunal shall determine the amount of the child support obligation on a case-by-case basis,
299
but the base child support award shall not be less than [$20] $30.
300
(7) The amount shown on the table is the support amount for the total number of
301
children, not an amount per child.
302
Section 5.
Section
78-45-7.10
is amended to read:
303
78-45-7.10. Adjustment when child becomes emancipated.
304
(1) When a child becomes 18 years of age or graduates from high school during the
305
child's normal and expected year of graduation, whichever occurs later, or if the child dies,
306
marries, becomes a member of the armed forces of the United States, or is emancipated [by
307
court order pursuant to] in accordance with Title 78, Chapter 3a, Part 10, Emancipation, the
308
base child support award is automatically adjusted to the base combined child support
309
obligation for the remaining number of children due child support, shown in the table that was
310
used to establish the most recent order, using the incomes of the parties as specified in that
311
order or the worksheets, unless otherwise provided in the child support order.
312
(2) The award may not be reduced by a per child amount derived from the base child
313
support award originally ordered.
314
(3) If the incomes of the parties are not specified in the most recent order or the
315
worksheets, the information regarding the incomes is not consistent, or the order deviates from
316
the guidelines, automatic adjustment of the order does not apply and the order will continue
317
until modified by the issuing tribunal. If the order is deviated and the parties subsequently
318
obtain a judicial order that adjusts the support back to the date of the emancipation of the child,
319
the Office of Recovery Services may not be required to repay any difference in the support
320
collected during the interim.
321
Section 6.

Section 7.
Section
78-45-7.15
is amended to read:
743
78-45-7.15. Medical expenses.
744
(1) The court shall order that insurance for the medical expenses of the minor children
745
be provided by a parent if it is available at a reasonable cost.
746
(2) In determining which parent shall be ordered to maintain insurance for medical
747
expenses, the court or administrative agency may consider the:
748
(a) reasonableness of the cost;
749
(b) availability of a group insurance policy;
750
(c) coverage of the policy; and
751
(d) preference of the custodial parent.
752
(3) The order shall require each parent to share equally the out-of-pocket costs of the
753
premium actually paid by a parent for the children's portion of insurance.
754
(4) The parent who provides the insurance coverage may receive credit against the base
755
child support award or recover the other parent's share of the children's portion of the premium.
756
In cases in which the parent does not have insurance but another member of the parent's
757
household provides insurance coverage for the children, the parent may receive credit against
758
the base child support award or recover the other parent's share of the children's portion of the
759
premium.
760
(5) The children's portion of the premium is a per capita share of the premium actually
761
paid. The premium expense for the children shall be calculated by dividing the premium
762
amount by the number of persons covered under the policy and multiplying the result by the
763
number of children in the instant case.
764
(6) The order shall require [each parent] the parents to share equally all reasonable and
765
necessary uninsured medical expenses incurred for the dependent children, including but not
766
limited to deductibles and copayments[, incurred for the dependent children].
767
(7) The parent ordered to maintain insurance shall provide verification of coverage to
768
the other parent, or to the Office of Recovery Services under Title IV of the Social Security
769
Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 601 et seq., upon initial enrollment of the dependent children, and
770
thereafter on or before January 2 of each calendar year. The parent shall notify the other
771
parent, or the Office of Recovery Services under Title IV of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C.
772
Section 601 et seq., of any change of insurance carrier, premium, or benefits within 30 calendar
773
days of the date he first knew or should have known of the change.
774
(8) A parent who incurs medical expenses shall provide written verification of the cost
775
and payment of medical expenses to the other parent within 30 days of payment.
776
(9) In addition to any other sanctions provided by the court, a parent incurring medical
777
expenses may be denied the right to receive credit for the expenses or to recover the other
778
parent's share of the expenses if that parent fails to comply with Subsections (7) and (8).
779
Section 8.
Section
78-45-7.16
is amended to read:
780
78-45-7.16. Child care expenses -- Expenses not incurred.
781
(1) The child support order shall require that each parent share [equally] proportionally
782
the reasonable work-related child care expenses of the parents based on each parent's
783
percentage of the combined adjusted gross income amount identified on the child support
784
worksheet.
785
(2) (a) If an actual expense for child care is incurred, a parent shall begin paying his
786
share on a monthly basis immediately upon presentation of proof of the child care expense, but
787
if the child care expense ceases to be incurred, that parent may suspend making monthly
788
payment of that expense while it is not being incurred, without obtaining a modification of the
789
child support order.
790
(b) (i) In the absence of a court order to the contrary, a parent who incurs child care
791
expense shall provide written verification of the cost and identity of a child care provider to the
792
other parent upon initial engagement of a provider and thereafter on the request of the other
793
parent.
794
(ii) In the absence of a court order to the contrary, the parent shall notify the other
795
parent of any change of child care provider or the monthly expense of child care within 30
796
calendar days of the date of the change.
797
(3) In addition to any other sanctions provided by the court, a parent incurring child
798
care expenses may be denied the right to receive credit for the expenses or to recover the other
799
parent's share of the expenses if the parent incurring the expenses fails to comply with
800
Subsection (2)(b).
801
Section 9.
Section
78-45-7.21
is amended to read:
802
78-45-7.21. Award of tax exemption for dependent children.
803
[(1) No presumption exists as to which parent should be awarded the right to claim a
804
child or children as exemptions for federal and state income tax purposes. Unless the parties
805
otherwise stipulate in writing, the court or administrative agency shall award in any final order
806
the exemption on a case-by-case basis.]
807
[(2) In awarding the exemption, the court or administrative agency shall consider:]
808
[(a) as the primary factor, the relative contribution of each parent to the cost of raising
809
the child; and]
810
[(b) among other factors, the relative tax benefit to each parent.]
811
[(3) Notwithstanding Subsection (2), the court or administrative agency]
812
(1) For federal and state income tax purposes, the parties shall divide the children
813
evenly. If there is an odd number of children, the custodial parent shall claim the greater
814
number of children in even years, and the noncustodial parent shall claim the greater number of
815
children in odd years.
816
(2) A noncustodial parent who has been given timely notice of obligations due under
817
the order but has not fulfilled those obligations may not [award] claim any exemption [to the
818
noncustodial parent if that parent is not current in his child support obligation, in which case
819
the court or administrative agency may award an exemption to], except with the written
820
consent of the custodial parent.
821
[(4) An exemption may not be awarded to a parent unless the award will result in a tax
822
benefit to that parent.]
823
Section 10. Effective date.
824
This bill takes effect on July 1, 2008.
