income:
A. [ ] Actual Monthly Net Income: $ _______________.
OR
B. [ ] Monthly net income after exclusion requiring findings:

[ ] retire past relationship debts; or
[ ] retire child support debt; and
that the income will cease when the obligor has paid off his or her debts.

$
$
$
Total Monthly Transfer Amount $
[ ] The parents’ combined monthly net income exceeds $12,000 and the court sets child
support in excess of the presumptive amount for $12,000 because:
[ ] The court finds that the obligor’s child support obligations owed for all his or her
biological or legal children exceed 45% of his or her net income and it is [ ] just
[ ] unjust to apply the 45% limitation based upon the best interests of the child(ren) and
the circumstances of each parent as follows:
[ ] If one of the children changes age brackets, the child support shall be as follows:
[ ] This is a downward modification that has caused an overpayment of $ ______________.
This amount shall be repaid or credited as follows:
[ ] This is an upward modification that has caused an underpayment of $_______________.
This amount shall be paid as follows:
[ ] Other :
The obligor’s privileges to obtain or maintain a license, certificate,
registration, permit, approval, or other similar document issued by a
licensing entity evidencing admission to or granting authority to engage in
a profession, occupation, business, industry, recreational pursuit, or the
operation of a motor vehicle may be denied or may be suspended in the
obligor parent is not in compliance with this support order as provided in

WPF CU 01.0500 Mandatory (07/2015) – RCW 26.10.040; 26.10.050
[ ] The child support amount ordered in paragraph 3.5 does not deviate from the standard
calculation.
[ ] The child support amount ordered in paragraph 3.5 deviates from the standard calculation for
the following reasons:
[ ] Income of a new spouse or domestic partner of the party requesting a deviation for other
reasons;
[ ] Income of other adults in the household of the party requesting a deviation for other
reasons;
[ ] Child support actually paid or received for other child(ren) from other relationships;
[ ] Gifts;
[ ] Prizes;
[ ] Possession of wealth;
[ ] Extraordinary income of the child(ren);
[ ] Tax planning which results in greater benefit to the child(ren);
[ ] Income from overtime or second jobs that was excluded from income of the parent
requesting a deviation for other reasons;
[ ] A nonrecurring source of income;
[ ] Extraordinary debt not voluntarily incurred;
[ ] A significant disparity in the living costs of the parties due to conditions beyond their
control;
[ ] Special needs of disabled child(ren);
[ ] Special medical, educational, or psychological needs of the child(ren);
[ ] The child(ren) spend(s) a significant amount of time with the party who is obligated to
make a support transfer payment. The deviation does not result in insufficient funds in
the nonparental custodian’s household to meet the basic needs of the child(ren). The
child(ren) do(es) not receive public assistance;
[ ] Child(ren) from other relationships;
[ ] Costs incurred or anticipated to be incurred by the parties in compliance with court-
ordered reunification efforts or under a voluntary placement agreement with an agency
supervising the child(ren);
[ ] The obligor has established that it is unjust or inappropriate to apply the presumptive
minimum payment of $50.00 per child.
[ ] The obligee has established that it is unjust to apply the self-support reserve.
[ ] Other reason(s) for deviation:
The factual basis for these reasons is as follows:
3.8 Reasons Why Request for Deviation Was Denied
[ ] Does not apply. A deviation was ordered.
[ ] A deviation was not requested.
[ ] The deviation sought by the [ ] obligor [ ] obligee was denied because:
[ ] no good reason exists to justify deviation.

3.10 Incremental Payments
[ ] Does not apply.
[ ] This is a modification of child support. Pursuant to RCW 26.09.170(9)(a) and (c), the
obligation has been modified by more than 30 percent and the change would cause
significant hardship. The increase in the child support obligation set forth in Paragraph
3.5 shall be implemented in two equal increments, one at the time of this order and the
second on (date) _______________ six months from the entry of this order.

[ ] Enforcement and collection: The Division of Child Support (DCS) provides support
enforcement services for this case because: [ ] This is a public assistance case, [ ] this is
a case in which a party has requested services from DCS, [ ] a party has signed the

that apply.) Support payments shall be made to:
Washington State Support Registry

to provide the health insurance policy information.
Any time the Division of Child Support is providing support enforcement services under
RCW 26.23.045, or if a party is applying for support enforcement services by signing the

3.12 Wage Withholding Action
Withholding action may be taken against wages, earnings, assets, or benefits, and liens enforced
against real and personal property under the child support statutes of this or any other state,
without further notice to the obligor at any time after entry of this order unless an alternative
provision is made below:
[If the court orders immediate wage withholding in a case where Division of Child Support does
not provide support enforcement services, a mandatory wage assignment under Chapter 26.18
RCW must be entered and support payments must be made to the Support Registry.]
[ ] Wage withholding, by notice of payroll deduction or other income withholding action
under Chapter 26.18 RCW or Chapter 74.20A RCW, without further notice to the
obligor, is delayed until a payment is past due, because:
[ ] the parties have reached a written agreement which the court approves that
provides for an alternate arrangement.
[ ] The Division of Child Support provides support enforcement services for this
case [see 3.11] and there is good cause (as stated below under "Good Cause") not
to require immediate income withholding which is in the best interests of the
child and, in modification cases, previously ordered child support has been
timely paid.
[ ] The Division of Child Support does not provide support enforcement services for
this case (see 3.11) and there is good cause (as stated below under "Good
Cause") not to require immediate income withholding.

Under federal law, the parent who claims the income tax exemption for the child may
be subject to a tax penalty if the child does not have medical insurance coverage.
3.18 Medical Support - Health Insurance
Both parents shall be responsible for ensuring the child(ren) listed in paragraph 3.1 are covered
by health insurance coverage, as follows:
3.18.1 Health Insurance
[ ] The court has insufficient evidence to decide how insurance coverage for the children
should be provided. The parents’ medical support obligations may be enforced by the
Division of Child Support, the custodian or the other parent under RCW 26.18.170 as
described in paragraph 3.18.2, below.
OR
[ ] ___________________________ shall pay the health insurance premium because the
court has considered the needs of the child, the cost and extent of coverage, and the
accessibility of coverage.
[ ] The other parent shall contribute their proportionate share of the premium paid.
(check one)
[ ] The health insurance premium is included in the Worksheet. No
separate payment is needed.
[ ] The health insurance premium is not included in the worksheets.
Separate payment is needed. A parent or nonparent custodian may ask
DCS or the court to enforce payment of the proportional share.
[ ] The other parent is excused from contributing to health insurance premium for
state purposes because:
Neither parent must pay an amount for health insurance premiums that is more than
twenty-five percent of their basic support obligation, unless otherwise ordered by the
court.
[ ] Other:
All parties’ obligation:
If the child(ren) are receiving state financed medical coverage, the Division of Child
Support may enforce the responsible parent’s monthly premium.
The parent(s) shall maintain health insurance coverage, if available for the child(ren)
listed in paragraph 3.1, until further order of the court or until health insurance is no
Ord of Child Support (TMORS, ORS) - Page 10 of 13
WPF CU 01.0500 Mandatory (07/2015) – RCW 26.10.040; 26.10.050
longer available through the parents’ employer or union and no conversion privileges
exist to continue coverage following termination of employment.
A parent who is required under this order to provide health insurance coverage is liable
for any covered health care costs for which that parent receives direct payment from an
insurer.
A parent who is required under this order to provide health insurance coverage shall
provide proof that such coverage is available or not available within 20 days of the entry
of this order to the custodian and the other parent, or the Washington State Support
Registry if the parent has been notified or ordered to make payments to the Washington
State Support Registry.
If proof that health insurance coverage is available or not available is not provided within
20 days, the custodian or parent seeking enforcement or the Department of Social and
Health Services may seek direct enforcement of the coverage through the employer or
union of either parent or both parents without further notice to the parent as provided
under Chapter 26.18 RCW.
3.18.2 Change of Circumstances and Enforcement
A parent required to provide health insurance coverage must notify the Division of Child
Support, the custodian, and the other parent when coverage terminates.
If the parents’ circumstances change, or if the court has not specified how medical support shall
be provided, the parents’ medical support obligations will be enforced as provided in
RCW 26.18.170. If a parent does not provide proof of accessible coverage for the child(ren)
through private insurance, a parent may be required to satisfy his or her medical support
obligation by doing one of the following, listed in order of priority:
1) Providing or maintaining health insurance coverage through the parent’s employment or
union at a cost not to exceed 25% of that parent’s basic support obligation;
2) Contributing the parent’s proportionate share of a monthly premium being paid by the
other parent for health insurance coverage for the child(ren) listed in paragraph 3.1 of this
order, not to exceed 25% of the obligated parent’s basic support obligation; or
3) Contributing the parent’s proportionate share of a monthly premium paid by the state if
the child(ren) receive(s) state-financed medical coverage through DSHS or HCA (Health
Care Authority) under RCW 74.09 for which there is an assignment.
A custodian or parent seeking to enforce the obligation to provide health insurance coverage may
apply for support enforcement services from the Division of Child Support; file a motion for
contempt (use form WPF DRPSCU 05.0100, Motion/Declaration for an Order to Show Cause re
Contempt); or file a petition.
