- Appeal From
-
Case No. 95-C-01315
South Central Judicial District, Morton County
Bruce B. Haskell
Highlight
The presumptively correct child support guidelines are rebutted by a preponderance of the evidence establishing a noncustodial parent's reduced ability to provide support due to visitation travel expenses and a downward deviation from the guidelines is in the best interests of the children. Until the guidelines define a "reduced ability to pay," an affidavit from the noncustodial parent testifying as to net income and anticipated travel expenses is sufficient rebuttal evidence. A trial court may use its discretion to determine whether visitation travel expenses may be deducted directly from the child support payments or from the noncustodial parent's gross monthly income to calculate net income for the purpose of determining the appropriate child support obligation, as the guidelines do not provide a method for calculating the deviation.
The child support guidelines may be rebutted by evidence of travel expenses for only court-ordered visitations, not for discretionary visitation travel expenses.
