AN ACT relative to use of the child support guidelines worksheet.
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
1 New Section; Child Support Guidelines Worksheet. Amend RSA 458-C by inserting after section 3 the following new section:
458-C:3-a Child Support Guidelines Worksheet. At every hearing in which child support is involved, the party seeking the order shall file a child support guideline worksheet, as published by the department of health and human services, division of child support services, duly completed by either the party or attorney. The other party shall file a child support guideline worksheet if the guideline amount is in dispute. In any case where the court or court personnel complete or assist the parties in the completion of a child support guidelines worksheet, the worksheet shall be retained in the court file and made available for inspection at the request of the parties. In any event, the worksheet that results in the ordered child support obligation shall be kept in the file and available to the parties. The fact that the parties have agreed to an amount or may be requesting adjustments to the child support guidelines shall not suspend the requirements of this section. In cases where the other party has failed to disclose his or her income, a worksheet shall be completed using a reasonable estimate of that party’s income.
2 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.
