Amendment to HB 1595-FN
Amend the bill by replacing section 2 with the following:
2 New Paragraphs; Child Support Guidelines; Definition of Parenting Time and Parenting Time Factor. Amend RSA 458-C:2 by inserting after paragraph XI the following new paragraphs:
XII. “Parenting time” is a period of time when a parent has physical responsibility for the children. When “parenting time” is calculated, the number of days or overnights or portions thereof (as defined in the parenting schedule pursuant to RSA 461-A:4 or otherwise specified by the court), shall total 100% of the time.
XIII. “Parenting time factor” (PTF) is the fraction of full residency costs incurred by a parent with parenting time, and is calculated to 3 decimal places of accuracy as 1.5 multiplied by the fraction of 365 days of parenting time by that parent with a maximum allowed value of 1.000. For example, for parenting time of 260 overnights, the parenting time fraction is 260/365 =.712. The PTF is 1.5 multiplied by .712 which equals 1.068 which exceeds one and is therefore capped at 1.000.
Amend the bill by deleting section 5 and renumbering the original sections 6 and 7 to read as 5 and 6, respectively.
Amend the bill by replacing section 6 with the following:
