132 Section 3. Section 78-45-7.2 is amended to read:
133 78-45-7.2. Application of guidelines -- Use of ordered child support.
134 (1) The guidelines apply to any judicial or administrative order establishing or
135 modifying an award of child support entered on or after July 1, 1989.
136 (2) (a) The child support guidelines shall be applied as a rebuttable presumption in
137 establishing or modifying the amount of temporary or permanent child support.
138 (b) The rebuttable presumption means the provisions and considerations required by
139 the guidelines, the award amounts resulting from the application of the guidelines, and the use
140 of worksheets consistent with these guidelines are presumed to be correct, unless rebutted
141 under the provisions of this section.
142 (3) A written finding or specific finding on the record supporting the conclusion that
143 complying with a provision of the guidelines or ordering an award amount resulting from use
144 of the guidelines would be unjust, inappropriate, or not in the best interest of a child in a
145 particular case is sufficient to rebut the presumption in that case. If an order rebuts the
146 presumption through findings, it is considered a deviated order.
147 (4) The following shall be considered deviations from the guidelines, if:
148 (a) the order includes a written finding that it is a [
149 the guidelines;
150 (b) the guidelines worksheet has:
151 (i) the box checked for a deviation; and [
152 (ii) an explanation as to the reason; or
153 (c) the deviation [
154 the guidelines table.
155 (5) If the amount in the order and the amount on the guidelines worksheet differ[
156
157 (a) the order [
158 (b) the incomes listed on the worksheet may not be used in adjusting support for
159 emancipation.
160 (6) (a) Natural or adoptive children of either parent who live in the home of that parent
161 and are not children in common to both parties may at the option of either party be taken into
162 account under the guidelines in setting or modifying a child support award, as provided in
163 Subsection (7). Credit may not be given if:
164 (i) by giving credit to the obligor, children for whom a prior support order exists would
165 have their child support reduced; or
166 (ii) by giving credit to the obligee for a present family, the obligation of the obligor
167 would increase.
168 (b) Additional worksheets shall be prepared that compute the obligations of the
169 respective parents for the additional children. The obligations shall then be subtracted from the
170 appropriate parent's income before determining the award in the instant case.
171 (7) In a proceeding to modify an existing award, consideration of natural or adoptive
172 children born after entry of the order and who are not in common to both parties may be
173 applied to mitigate an increase in the award but may not be applied:
174 (a) for the benefit of the obligee if the credit would increase the support obligation of
175 the obligor from the most recent order; or
176 (b) for the benefit of the obligor if the amount of support received by the obligee would
177 be decreased from the most recent order.
178 (8) (a) If a child support order has not been issued or modified within the previous
179 three years, a parent, legal guardian, or the office may petition the court to adjust the amount of
180 a child support order.
181 (b) Upon receiving a petition under Subsection (8)(a), the court shall, taking into
182 account the best interests of the child[
183 (i) determine whether there is a difference between the payor's ordered support amount
184 [
185
186 (ii) if there is a difference as described in Subsection (8)(b)(i), adjust the payor's
187 ordered support amount to the payor's support amount provided in the guidelines if:
188 (A) the difference [
189 (B) the difference is not of a temporary nature[
190
191 (C) the order adjusting the payor's ordered support amount does not deviate from the
192 guidelines.
193 (c) A showing of a substantial change in circumstances is not necessary for an
194 adjustment under this Subsection (8)[
195 (9) (a) A parent, legal guardian, or the office may at any time petition the court to
196 adjust the amount of a child support order if there has been a substantial change in
197 circumstances. A change in the base combined child support obligation table set forth in
198 Section 78-45-7.14 is not a substantial change in circumstances for the purposes of this
199 Subsection (9).
200 (b) For purposes of this Subsection (9)[
201 include:
202 (i) material changes in custody;
203 (ii) material changes in the relative wealth or assets of the parties;
204 (iii) material changes of 30% or more in the income of a parent;
205 (iv) material changes in the employment potential and ability of a parent to earn;
206 (v) material changes in the medical needs of the child; [
207 (vi) material changes in the legal responsibilities of either parent for the support of
208 others.
209 (c) Upon receiving a petition under Subsection (9)(a), the court shall, taking into
210 account the best interests of the child[
211 (i) determine whether a substantial change has occurred[
212
213 (ii) if a substantial change has occurred, determine whether the change results in a
214 difference of 15% or more between the payor's ordered support amount and the payor's support
215 amount [
216
217 and
218 (iii) adjust the [
219 which is provided for in the guidelines[
220 (A) there is a difference of 15% or more; and
221 (B) the difference is not of a temporary nature.
222 (10) Notice of the opportunity to adjust a support order under Subsections (8) and (9)
223 shall be included in each child support order [
224 Section 4. Section 78-45-7.5 is amended to read:
225 78-45-7.5. Determination of gross income -- Imputed income.
226 (1) As used in the guidelines, "gross income" includes prospective income from any
227 source, including earned and nonearned income sources which may include salaries, wages,
228 commissions, royalties, bonuses, rents, gifts from anyone, prizes, dividends, severance pay,
229 pensions, interest, trust income, alimony from previous marriages, annuities, capital gains,
230 Social Security benefits, workers' compensation benefits, unemployment compensation,
231 income replacement disability insurance benefits, and payments from "nonmeans-tested"
232 government programs.
233 (2) Income from earned income sources is limited to the equivalent of one full-time
234 40-hour job. If and only if during the time prior to the original support order, the parent
235 normally and consistently worked more than 40 hours at [
236 consider this extra time as a pattern in calculating the parent's ability to provide child support.
237 (3) Notwithstanding Subsection (1), specifically excluded from gross income are:
238 (a) cash assistance provided under Title 35A, Chapter 3, Part 3, Family Employment
239 Program;
240 (b) benefits received under a housing subsidy program, the Job Training Partnership
241 Act, Supplemental Security Income, Social Security Disability Insurance, Medicaid, Food
242 Stamps, or General Assistance; and
243 (c) other similar means-tested welfare benefits received by a parent.
244 (4) (a) Gross income from self-employment or operation of a business shall be
245 calculated by subtracting necessary expenses required for self-employment or business
246 operation from gross receipts. The income and expenses from self-employment or operation of
247 a business shall be reviewed to determine an appropriate level of gross income available to the
248 parent to satisfy a child support award. Only those expenses necessary to allow the business to
249 operate at a reasonable level may be deducted from gross receipts.
250 (b) Gross income determined under this Subsection (4) may differ from the amount of
251 business income determined for tax purposes.
252 (5) (a) When possible, gross income should first be computed on an annual basis and
253 then recalculated to determine the average gross monthly income.
254 (b) Each parent shall provide verification of current income. Each parent shall provide
255 year-to-date pay stubs or employer statements and complete copies of tax returns from at least
256 the most recent year unless the court finds the verification is not reasonably available.
257 Verification of income from records maintained by the Department of Workforce Services may
258 be substituted for pay stubs, employer statements, and income tax returns.
259 (c) Historical and current earnings shall be used to determine whether an
260 underemployment or overemployment situation exists.
261 (6) Gross income includes income imputed to the parent under Subsection (7).
262 (7) (a) Income may not be imputed to a parent unless the parent stipulates to the
263 amount imputed, the [
264
265 judicial proceeding or the presiding officer in an administrative proceeding enters findings of
266 fact as to the evidentiary basis for the imputation.
267 (b) If income is imputed to a parent, the income shall be based upon employment
268 potential and probable earnings as derived from employment opportunities, work history,
269 occupation qualifications, and prevailing earnings for persons of similar backgrounds in the
270 community, or the median earning for persons in the same occupation in the same geographical
271 area as found in the statistics maintained by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
272 (c) If a parent has no recent work history or their occupation is unknown, income shall
273 be imputed at least at the federal minimum wage for a 40-hour work week. To impute a greater
274 income, the judge in a judicial proceeding or the presiding officer in an administrative
275 proceeding shall enter specific findings of fact as to the evidentiary basis for the imputation.
276 (d) Income may not be imputed if any of the following conditions exist and the
277 condition is not of a temporary nature:
278 (i) the reasonable costs of child care for the parents' minor children approach or equal
279 the amount of income the custodial parent can earn;
280 (ii) a parent is physically or mentally [
281 minimum wage;
282 (iii) a parent is engaged in career or occupational training to establish basic job skills;
283 or
284 (iv) unusual emotional or physical needs of a child require the custodial parent's
285 presence in the home.
286 (8) (a) Gross income may not include the earnings of a minor child who is the subject
287 of a child support award nor benefits to a minor child in the child's own right such as
288 Supplemental Security Income.
289 (b) Social Security benefits received by a child due to the earnings of a parent shall be
290 credited as child support to the parent upon whose earning record it is based, by crediting the
291 amount against the potential obligation of that parent. Other unearned income of a child may
292 be considered as income to a parent depending upon the circumstances of each case.
293 Section 5. Section 78-45-7.7 is amended to read:
294 78-45-7.7. Calculation of obligations.
295 (1) Each parent's child support obligation shall be established in proportion to their
296 adjusted gross incomes, unless the low income table is applicable. Except during periods of
297 court-ordered parent-time as set forth in Section 78-45-7.11 , the parents are obligated to pay
298 their proportionate shares of the base combined child support obligation. If physical custody of
299 the child changes from that assumed in the original order, modification of the order is not
300 necessary, even if only one parent is specifically ordered to pay in the order.
301 (2) Except in cases of joint physical custody and split custody as defined in Section
302 78-45-2 and in cases where the obligor's adjusted gross income is $1,050 or less monthly, the
303 base child support award shall be determined as follows:
304 (a) combine the adjusted gross incomes of the parents and determine the base
305 combined child support obligation using the base combined child support obligation table; and
306 (b) calculate each parent's proportionate share of the base combined child support
307 obligation by multiplying the combined child support obligation by each parent's percentage of
308 combined adjusted gross income.
309 (3) In the case of an incapacitated adult child, any amount that the incapacitated adult
310 child can contribute to [
311 the determination of child support and may be used to justify a reduction in the amount of
312 support ordered, except that in the case of orders involving multiple children, the reduction
313 shall not be greater than the effect of reducing the total number of children by one in the child
314 support table calculation.
315 (4) In cases where the monthly adjusted gross income of [
316 between $650 and $1,050, the base child support award shall be the lesser of the amount
317 calculated in accordance with Subsection (2) and the amount calculated using the low income
318 table. If the income and number of children is found in an area of the low income table in
319 which no amount is shown, the base combined child support obligation table is to be used.
320 (5) The base combined child support obligation table provides combined child support
321 obligations for up to six children. For more than six children, additional amounts may be
322 added to the base child support obligation shown. Unless rebutted by Subsection 78-45-7.2 (3),
323 the amount ordered shall not be less than the amount which would be ordered for up to six
324 children.
325 (6) If the monthly adjusted gross income of [
326 the tribunal shall determine the amount of the child support obligation on a case-by-case basis,
327 but the base child support award [
328 (7) The amount shown on the table is the support amount for the total number of
329 children, not an amount per child.
330 (8) For all worksheets, income and support award figures shall be rounded to the
331 nearest dollar.
332 Section 6. Section 78-45-7.10 is amended to read:
333 78-45-7.10. Adjustment when child becomes emancipated.
334 (1) When a child becomes 18 years of age or graduates from high school during the
335 child's normal and expected year of graduation, whichever occurs later, or if the child dies,
336 marries, becomes a member of the armed forces of the United States, or is emancipated [
337
338 base child support award is automatically adjusted to the base combined child support
339 obligation for the remaining number of children due child support, shown in the table that was
340 used to establish the most recent order, using the incomes of the parties as specified in that
341 order or the worksheets, unless otherwise provided in the child support order.
342 (2) The award may not be reduced by a per child amount derived from the base child
343 support award originally ordered.
344 (3) If the incomes of the parties are not specified in the most recent order or the
345 worksheets, the information regarding the incomes is not consistent, or the order deviates from
346 the guidelines, automatic adjustment of the order does not apply and the order will continue
347 until modified by the issuing tribunal. If the order is deviated and the parties subsequently
348 obtain a judicial order that adjusts the support back to the date of the emancipation of the child,
349 the Office of Recovery Services may not be required to repay any difference in the support
350 collected during the interim.
351 Section 7. Section 78-45-7.14 is amended to read:
352 78-45-7.14. Base combined child support obligation table and low income table.
353 [
354
355 (1) If a child support order is established or modified on or before December 31, 2007,
356 the tables in this Subsection (1) shall be used for a modification to that order made on or before
357 December 31, 2009.

785 Section 8. Section 78-45-7.15 is amended to read:
786 78-45-7.15. Medical expenses.
787 (1) The court shall order that insurance for the medical expenses of the minor children
788 be provided by a parent if it is available at a reasonable cost.
789 (2) In determining which parent shall be ordered to maintain insurance for medical
790 expenses, the court or administrative agency may consider the:
791 (a) reasonableness of the cost;
792 (b) availability of a group insurance policy;
793 (c) coverage of the policy; and
794 (d) preference of the custodial parent.
795 (3) The order shall require each parent to share equally the out-of-pocket costs of the
796 premium actually paid by a parent for the children's portion of insurance.
797 (4) The parent who provides the insurance coverage may receive credit against the base
798 child support award or recover the other parent's share of the children's portion of the premium.
799 In cases in which the parent does not have insurance but another member of the parent's
800 household provides insurance coverage for the children, the parent may receive credit against
801 the base child support award or recover the other parent's share of the children's portion of the
802 premium.
803 (5) The children's portion of the premium is a per capita share of the premium actually
804 paid. The premium expense for the children shall be calculated by dividing the premium
805 amount by the number of persons covered under the policy and multiplying the result by the
806 number of children in the instant case.
807 (6) The order shall require each parent to share equally all reasonable and necessary
808 uninsured medical expenses incurred for the dependent children, including but not limited to
809 deductibles and copayments[
810 (7) The parent ordered to maintain insurance shall provide verification of coverage to
811 the other parent, or to the Office of Recovery Services under Title IV of the Social Security
812 Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 601 et seq., upon initial enrollment of the dependent children, and
813 thereafter on or before January 2 of each calendar year. The parent shall notify the other
814 parent, or the Office of Recovery Services under Title IV of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C.
815 Section 601 et seq., of any change of insurance carrier, premium, or benefits within 30 calendar
816 days of the date [
817 (8) A parent who incurs medical expenses shall provide written verification of the cost
818 and payment of medical expenses to the other parent within 30 days of payment.
819 (9) In addition to any other sanctions provided by the court, a parent incurring medical
820 expenses may be denied the right to receive credit for the expenses or to recover the other
821 parent's share of the expenses if that parent fails to comply with Subsections (7) and (8).
822 Section 9. Effective date.
823 This bill takes effect on July 1, 2007.
