Our daughter goes to a private boarding school in another state on a scholarship. Her primary residence will be my ex wife’s house but will only live there in the summer and will split holidays with each of us. Also she turned 17 in October. We are in agreement that neither should have to pay support to the other.
Thank you for your comment and question. Typically, the Courts cannot deviate from the child support guidelines aside from a really good reason that meets the statutory requirements. Although still rare, it is possible to agree upon and have the Court enter an Order for non-guideline but still appropriate support for your daughter. To achieve such an order there must be an appropriate discussion with the Court concerning the child support statute and a judicial officer’s limited legal permission to deviate from the guidelines due to the inequity, injustice or inappropriateness of the plain application of the child support guidelines.
