What are the changes to the new guidelines, and what impact are they likely to have? According to Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly, “The state’s new child support guidelines, revised for the first time since they were implemented in 1987, are being interpreted as representing a major shift in that area of domestic relations law, in considering both parents’ income, expanding the pool of parents who must pay child support and offering guidance on when it is necessary for a judge to deviate from the rules.”
Attend and learn from an interactive discussion with numerous members of the Child Support Guideline Task Force about the new child support guidelines—how to use the new guidelines, how they are different from existing guidelines, impact of the new guidelines on existing orders, deviations from the guidelines, utilizing the worksheet and making effective arguments under the new guidelines.
This program, happening six weeks after the effective date of January 1, will focus on implementation challenges and the more complex practice issues.
