ADDENDUM B COMBINED PARENTAL INCOME “CAP” Where combined parental income exceeds the amount published by the New York State OTDA pursuant to Social Services Law 111-i(2)a, the Court shall determine the amount of child support for the amount of the combined parental income in excess of such dollar amount through consideration of the factors set forth in Addendum D and/or the support percentage set forth in Addendum A. The combined parental income amount will be revised every two years, beginning on January 31, 2012, and the revised amount will be posted on-line at www.newyorkchildsupport.com . ADDENDUM C SELF-SUPPORT RESERVE Where the annual amount of the basic child support obligation would reduce the non-custodial parentss income below the poverty income guidelines amount for a single person as reported by the federal Department of Health and Human Services, the basic child support obligation shall be twenty-fve dollars ($25) per month unless the interests of justice dictate otherwise. Where the annual amount of the basic child support obligation would reduce the non-custodial parent's income below the self-support reserve but not below the poverty income guidelines amount of a single person as reported by the federal Department of Health and Human Services, the basic child support obligation shall be ffty dollars ($50) per month or the diference between the non-custodial parent's income and the self-support reserve, whichever is greater. ADDENDUM D VARIANCE FROM THE PERCENTAGES The Court has the discretion to vary from the percentages if it fnds that the non-custodial parent's pro-rata share of the basic child support obligation is unjust or inappropriate. This fnding shall be based upon consideration of the following factors: 1. The fnancial resources of the custodial and non-custodial parent, and those of the child. 2. The physical and emotional health of the child and his/her special needs and aptitudes. 3. The standard of living the child would have enjoyed had the marriage or household not been dissolved. 4. The tax consequences to the parties. 5. The non-monetary contributions that the parents will make toward the care and well-being of the child. 6. The educational needs of either parent. 7. A determination that the gross income of one parent is substantially less than the other parent's gross income. 8. The needs of the children of the non-custodial parent for whom the non-custodial parent is providing support who are not subject to the instant action and whose support has not been deducted from income, and the fnancial resources of any person obligated to support such children, provided, however, that this factor may apply only if the resources available to support such children are less than the resources available to support the children who are subject to the instant action. 9. Provided that the child is not on public assistance (i) extraordinary expenses incurred by the non-custodial parent in exercising visitation, or (ii) expenses incurred by the non-custodial parent in extended visitation provided that the custodial parent's expenses are substantially reduced as a result thereof. 10. Any other factors the Court determines are relevant in each case. NOTE: The language in the above Addenda is paraphrased from the statute for the purposes of simplifcation.
