HB 269 Child Support Shared Physical Custody

This bill, known as House Bill 269, deals with child support calculations in cases where both parents have shared physical custody of the child or children. The bill establishes a formula for determining the child support obligation when a parent with shared physical custody keeps the child overnight a certain number of times in a year.

The bill defines terms such as "adjusted basic child support obligation" and "shared physical custody." It also outlines how the adjusted basic child support obligation should be calculated in cases of shared physical custody.

The bill specifies that the new formula for calculating child support obligations will apply only to cases filed on or after the effective date of the Act, which is October 1, 2020.
