How do I evaluate different settlements when income is over the maximum combined limits?
Steps: 1. Enter all necessary case information. 2. Go to the Split Screen Summary Analysis menu. See Support Analysis menu. 3. Change the income level for New York support at top right of split screen if necessary the default is all income. Guideline child support will be calculated based on the income level entered. In addition, the New York child support worksheet may also be changed to allow for different percentages to be used in calculating child support on amounts over the maximum combined support. Note: Line 8 automatically applies the 17% on the maximum combined support in income. The software also automatically defines the % on line 11 as 17% by default. This field may be changed to any % amount. Thus, the user is allowed flexibility in determining what amount of income over the maximum combined support in income should be allowed for child support and if guideline % or different % should be applied to income over the statutory level of the maximum combined support in income.
