| Pennsylvania Child Support Guidelines Change in May 2010 |
In May 2010, changes to the Pennsylvania Child Support Guidelines take effect. The changes to the Guidelines are based upon Federal law and Federal regulations which require that each state have child support guidelines and that those guidelines are reviewed and updated at least once every four years. The review is to incorporate the most recent economic data on child-rearing costs and data from case files. Pennsylvania's support schedule is based upon child-rearing expenditures measured by David M. Betson, Ph.D., Professor of Economics at the University of Notre Dame. As with the current Guidelines, important factors in determining the correct amount of child support include the incomes of each parent, the cost of child care and the cost of health insurance for the children.
