SECTION 2.
5-11 Said title is further amended by striking in its entirety
5-12 Code Section 19-6-15, relating to the computation of child
5-13 support awards in the final verdict or decree, and inserting
5-14 in its place a new Code Section 19-6-15 to read as follows:
5-15 "19-6-15. (Index)
5-16 (a) In the final verdict or decree, the trier of fact
5-17 shall specify in what amount and from which party the
5-18 minor children are entitled to permanent support. The
5-19 final verdict or decree shall further specify as required
5-20 by Code Section 19-5-12 in what manner, how often, to
5-21 whom, and until when the support shall be paid. The final
5-22 verdict or decree shall further include a written finding
5-23 of the gross income of the father and the mother and the
5-24 presence or absence of special circumstances in accordance
5-25 with subsection (c) of this Code section. The trier of
5-26 fact must also determine whether the accident and sickness
5-27 insurance for the child or the children involved is
5-28 reasonably available at reasonable costs through
5-29 employment-related employment related or other group
5-30 health insurance policies to an obligor. For purposes of
5-31 this Code section, accident and sickness coverage shall be
5-32 deemed available if the obligor has access to any policy
5-33 of insurance authorized under Title 33 through an employer
5-34 or other group health insurance plan. If the accident and
5-35 sickness insurance is deemed available at reasonable cost,
5-36 the court shall order the obligor to obtain the coverage;
5-37 provided, however, if the obligee has accident and
5-38 sickness insurance for the child or children reasonably
5-39 available at reasonable costs through employment-related
5-40 employment related or other group health insurance

HB 72/AP
6- 1 policies, then the court may order that the child or
6- 2 children be covered under such insurance and the obligor
6- 3 contribute as part of the child support order such part of
6- 4 the cost of providing such insurance or such part of any
6- 5 medical expenses incurred on behalf of the child or
6- 6 children not covered by such insurance as the court may
6- 7 deem equitable or appropriate. If currently unavailable or
6- 8 unreasonable in cost, the court shall order the obligor to
6- 9 obtain coverage when it becomes available at a reasonable
6-10 cost, unless such insurance is provided by the obligee as
6-11 provided in this subsection. When support is awarded, the
6-12 party who is required to pay the support shall not be
6-13 liable to third persons for necessaries furnished to the
6-14 children embraced in the verdict or decree. In any
6-15 contested case, the parties shall submit to the court
6-16 their proposed findings regarding the gross income of the
6-17 father and the mother and the presence or absence of
6-18 special circumstances. In any case in which child support
6-19 is determined by a jury, the court shall charge the
6-20 provisions of this Code section but and the jury shall not-
6-21 be required to return a special interrogatory similar to
6-22 the form of the order contained in Code Section 19-5-12
6-23 regarding the gross income of the father and the mother
6-24 and the presence or absence of special circumstances.
6-25 Furthermore, nothing contained within this Code section
6-26 shall prevent the parties from entering into an
6-27 enforceable agreement to the contrary which may be made
6-28 the order of the court pursuant to the review by the court
6-29 of child support amounts contained in this Code section;
6-30 provided, however, any such agreement of the parties shall
6-31 include a written statement regarding the gross income of
6-32 the father and the mother and the presence or absence of
6-33 special circumstances in accordance with subsection (c) of
6-34 this Code section.
6-35 (b) The child support award shall be computed as provided
6-36 in this subsection:
6-37 (1) Computation of child support shall be based upon
6-38 gross income;
6-39 (2) For the purpose of determining the obligor's child
6-40 support obligation, gross income shall include 100
6-41 percent of wage and salary income and other compensation
6-42 for personal services, interest, dividends, net rental
6-43 income, self-employment income, and all other income,
6-44 except need-based public assistance;
H. B. No. 72
-6- (Index)
HB 72/AP
7- 1 (3) The earning capacity of an asset of a party
7- 2 available for child support may be used in determining
7- 3 gross income. The reasonable earning potential of an
7- 4 asset may be determined by multiplying its equity by a
7- 5 reasonable rate of interest. The amount generated by
7- 6 that calculation should be added to the obligor's gross
7- 7 monthly income;
7- 8 (4) Allowable expenses deducted to calculate
7- 9 self-employment income that personally benefit the
7-10 obligor, or economic in-kind benefits received by an
7-11 employed obligor, may be included in calculating the
7-12 obligor's gross monthly income; and
7-13 (5) The amount of the obligor's child support obligation
7-14 shall be determined by multiplying the obligor's gross
7-15 income per pay period by a percentage based on the
7-16 number of children for whom child support is being
7-17 determined. The applicable percentages of gross income
7-18 to be considered by the trier of fact are:
7-19 Number of
7-20 Children Percentage Range of Gross Income
7-21 1 17 percent to 23 percent
7-22 2 23 percent to 28 percent
7-23 3 25 percent to 32 percent
7-24 4 29 percent to 35 percent
7-25 5 or more 31 percent to 37 percent
7-26 Application of these guidelines shall create a rebuttable
7-27 presumption that the amount of the support awarded is the
7-28 correct amount of support to be awarded. A written
7-29 finding or specific finding on the record for the award of
7-30 child support that the application of the guidelines would
7-31 be unjust or inappropriate in a particular case shall be
7-32 sufficient to rebut the presumption in that case.
7-33 Findings that rebut said presumption must state the amount
7-34 of support that would have been required under the
7-35 guidelines and include justification of why the order
7-36 varies from the guidelines. These guidelines are intended
7-37 by the General Assembly to be guidelines only and any
7-38 court so applying these guidelines shall not abrogate its
7-39 responsibility in making the final determination of child
7-40 support based on the evidence presented to it at the time
7-41 of trial.
7-42 (c) The trier of fact may shall vary the final award of
7-43 child support, up or down, outside from the range
7-44 enumerated in paragraph (5) of subsection (b) of this Code

8- 1 section upon a written finding of that the presence of one
8- 2 or more of the following special circumstances makes the
8- 3 presumptive amount of support either excessive or
8- 4 inadequate. The special circumstances may be any factor
8- 5 which the trier of fact deems to be required by the ends
8- 6 of justice. Some of the factors which may warrant such
8- 7 variations include, but are not limited to:
8- 8 (1) Ages of the children;
8- 9 (2) A child's extraordinary medical costs or
8-10 extraordinary needs in addition to accident and sickness
8-11 insurance, provided that all such costs or needs shall
8-12 be considered if no insurance is available;

8-14 (4) Day-care costs;
8-15 (5) Shared physical custody arrangements, including
8-16 extended visitation;
8-17 (6) A party's other support obligations to another
8-18 household;
8-19 (7) Income that should be imputed to a party because of
8-20 suppression of income;
8-21 (8) In-kind income for the self-employed, such as
8-22 reimbursed meals or a company car;
8-23 (9) Other support a party is providing or will be
8-24 providing, such as payment of a mortgage;
8-25 (10) A party's own extraordinary needs, such as medical
8-26 expenses;
8-27 (11) Extreme economic circumstances (for example,
8-28 including but not limited to:
8-29 (A) unusually Unusually high debt structure; o
8-30 (B) unusually Unusually high income of either part
8-31 both parties, which shall be construed as individual
8-32 gross income of over $75,000.00 per annum);
8-33 (12) Historical spending in the family for children
8-34 which varies significantly from the percentage table;
8-35 (13) Considerations of the economic cost-of-living
8-36 factors of the community of each party, as determined by
8-37 the trier of fact;
8-38 (14) In-kind contribution of either parent;

9- 4 (17) Extraordinary travel expenses to exercise
9- 5 visitation or shared physical custody; and
9- 6 (18) Any other factor which the trier of fact deems to
9- 7 be required by the ends of justice.
9- 8 (d) The guidelines shall be reviewed by a commission
9- 9 appointed by the Governor to ensure that their application
9-10 results in the determination of appropriate child support
9-11 award amounts. The commission will complete its review
9-12 and submit its report within four years following July 1,
9-13 1989, and shall continue such reviews every four years
9-14 thereafter. Nothing contained in such report shall be
9-15 considered to authorize or require a change in the
9-16 guidelines without action by the General Assembly having
9-17 the force and effect of law. The commission shall also
9-18 submit a report to the House Judiciary Committee and
9-19 Senate Special Judiciary Committee during the 1991 regular
9-20 session of the General Assembly. This report shall
9-21 provide information which will allow these committees to
9-22 review the effectiveness of the guidelines and, if
9-23 necessary, revise these guidelines.
9-24 (e) The duty to provide support for a minor child shall
9-25 continue until the child reaches the age of majority,
9-26 dies, marries, or becomes emancipated, whichever first
9-27 occurs; provided, however, that, in any temporary or final
9-28 order for child support with respect to any proceeding for
9-29 divorce, separate maintenance, legitimacy, or paternity
9-30 entered on or after July 1, 1992, the trier of fact, in
9-31 the exercise of sound discretion, may direct either or
9-32 both parents to provide financial assistance to a child
9-33 who has not previously married or become emancipated, who
9-34 is enrolled in and attending a secondary school, and who
9-35 has attained the age of majority before completing his or
9-36 her secondary school education, provided that such
9-37 financial assistance shall not be required after a child
9-38 attains 20 years of age. The provisions for support
9-39 provided in this subsection may be enforced by either
9-40 parent or the child for whose benefit the support is
9-41 ordered.
9-42 (f) The provisions of subsection (e) of this Code section
9-43 shall be applicable only to a temporary order or final

10- 4 decree entered in such an action entered on or after July
10- 5 1, 1992, only upon a showing of a significant change of
10- 6 material circumstances."

10-15 children. The court may order either parent or both
10-16 parents to obtain and maintain the life insurance.
10-17 (b) The amount of the premium for such life insurance
10-18 shall be counted as a part of the support ordered pursuant
10-19 to the provisions of Code Section 19-6-15, provided that
10-20 the court shall review the amount of the premium for
10-21 reasonableness in the circumstances of the child, the
10-22 parent ordered to pay support, and the other parent.
10-23 (c) Except as provided in subsection (d) of this Code
10-24 section, an order for child support shall not require
10-25 maintenance of life insurance for a child's benefit after
10-26 the child reaches the age of majority and shall not
10-27 require that the proceeds of life insurance be available
10-28 for the benefit of a child after the child reaches the age
10-29 of majority.
10-30 (d) The trier of fact, in the exercise of sound
10-31 discretion, may direct either or both parents to maintain
