Rule 1910.16-3.1. Support Guidelines. High Income Cases.

 (a) Child Support Formula. [When] If the parties' combined monthly net income [is above] exceeds $30,000, the following three-step process shall be applied to calculate the parties' respective child support obligations. The amount of support calculated pursuant to this three-step process shall [in no event] not be less than the amount of support that would have been awarded if the parties' combined net monthly income [were $30,000. That amount shall be a] was $30,000, which shall be the presumptive minimum amount of support.

 (1) First, the following formula shall be applied as a preliminary analysis in calculating the amount of basic child support to be apportioned between the parties according to their respective incomes:

 One child: [$2,801] $2,839 + [8.5%] 8.6% of combined net income above $30,000 per month.

 Two children: [$3,836] $3,902 + [11.6%] 11.8% of combined net income above $30,000 per month.

 Three children: [$4,277] $4,365 + [12.6%] 12.9% of combined net income above $30,000 per month.

 Four children: [$4,718] $4,824 + [14.3%] 14.6% of combined net income above $30,000 per month.

 Five children: [$5,190] $5,306 + [15.8%] 16.1% of combined net income above $30,000 per month.

 Six children: [$5,641] $5,768 + [17.1%] 17.5% of combined net income above $30,000 per month;

*  *  *  *  *

 (c) Substantial or Shared Physical Custody.

 (1) When the children spend 40% or more of their time during the year with the obligor, a rebuttable presumption arises that the obligor is entitled to a reduction in the basic support obligation to reflect this time. This rebuttable presumption also applies in high income cases decided pursuant to Rule 1910.16-3.1. Except as provided in subsection (2) below, the reduction shall be calculated pursuant to the formula set forth in Part II of subdivision (a) of this rule. For purposes of this provision, the time spent with the children shall be determined by the number of overnights they spend during the year with the obligor.

Example. [Where] If the obligor and the obligee have monthly net incomes of $5,000 and $2,300 respectively, their combined child support obligation is [$1,669] $1,701 for two children. Using the income shares formula in Part I, the obligor's share of this obligation is 68%, or [$1,135] $1,157. If the children spend 40% of their time with the obligor, the formula in Part II applies to reduce his or her percentage share of the combined support obligation to 58%, or [$968] $987. If the children spend 45% of their time with the obligor, his or her percentage share of the combined obligation is reduced to 53%, or [$885] $902. If the children spend equal time with both parents, the obligor's percentage share is reduced to 48%, or [$801] $816.

 (2) Without regard to which parent initiated the support action, when the children spend equal time with both parents, the Part II formula cannot be applied unless the obligor is the parent with the higher income. [In no event shall an order] No order shall be entered requiring the parent with the lower income to pay basic child support to the parent with the higher income. However, [nothing in] this subdivision shall not prevent the entry of an order requiring the parent with less income to contribute to additional expenses pursuant to [Rule] Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-6. [Pursuant to either party's initiating a support action] Based upon the evidence presented, the trier of fact may enter an order against either party [based upon the evidence presented] without regard to which party initiated the action. [In all cases in which] If the parties share custody equally and the support calculation results in the obligee receiving a larger share of the parties' combined income, then the court shall adjust the support obligation so that the combined net income is allocated equally between the two households. In those cases, no spousal support or alimony pendente lite shall be awarded.

Example 1. Mother and Father have monthly net incomes of $3,000 and $2,700 respectively. Mother has filed for support for the parties' two children with whom [they] the parties share time equally. Because the parties have equal custody and Mother has the higher income of the parties, Mother cannot be the obligee for purposes of the Part II calculation. Although Mother initiated the support action, she would be the obligor. Pursuant to the basic child support schedule at [Rule] Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-3, the support amount for two children at [their parents'] the parties' combined net income level is [$1,450] $1,487 per month. Mother's share is 53% of that amount, or [$769] $788. Father's share is 47%, or [$682] $699. [Application of subdivisions a. and b. of the Part II formula results in a 20% reduction in support when each parent spends 50% of the time with the children. Because the parties share custody equally, Mother cannot be the obligee for purposes of the Part II calculation because she has the higher income of the two parents. In these circumstances, although Mother initiated the support action, she would become the obligor even if Father has not filed for support. Father cannot be an obligor in the Part II calculations nor can the amount of support Mother is obligated to pay to Father be offset by calculating Father's adjusted amount of support under Part II because a support order cannot be entered against the parent with the lesser income. Using Mother as the obligor, her] Application of lines 11a and 11b of the Part II formula results in a 20% reduction in support when the obligor has 50% custody of the children. Mother's adjusted percentage share of the basic support amount is 33% (53% − 20% = 33%). Her adjusted share of the basic support amount is [$479] $491 (33% of [$1,450] $1,487). However, [instead of $479 per month] as this amount would result in Father having a greater share of the parties' combined net income ($3,191 vs. $2,509), Mother's support obligation would be adjusted to $150 per month to allocate the parties' combined net income equally between the two households[. This] and is the presumptive amount of basic support payable to Father under these circumstances.

Example 2. [Where] If the obligor and the obligee have monthly net incomes of $3,000 and $2,500 respectively, then their combined child support obligation for two children is [$1,426] $1,463. The obligor's share of this obligation is 55%, or [$784] $805 ($1,463 × 55%). If the children spend equal time with both parents, the formula in Part II results in a support obligation of [$499] $512 ($1,463 × 35%) payable to the obligee. Since this amount [gives the oblige $2,999 of the combined income, and leaves the obligor with only $2,501 of the combined income] results in the obligee having monthly net income of $3,012 and the obligor having monthly net income of $2,488, the obligor's support obligation must be adjusted to $250 to equalize the combined income between the parties' households[. This] and is the presumptive amount of basic support payable to the obligee under these circumstances.

 (d) Divided or Split Physical Custody. When Each Party Has Primary Custody of One or More of the Children. Varied Custodial Schedules.

 (1) Divided or Split Physical Custody. When Each Party Has Primary Custody of One or More of the Children. When calculating a child support obligation, and one or more of the children reside primarily with each party, the court shall offset the parties' respective child support obligations and award the net difference to the obligee as child support. For example, if the parties have three children, one of whom resides with Father and two of whom reside with Mother, and their net monthly incomes are $2,500 and $1,250 respectively, Father's child support obligation is calculated as follows. Using the schedule in [Rule] Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-3 for two children at the parties' combined net monthly income of $3,750, the amount of basic child support to be apportioned between the parties is [$1,200] $1,224. As Father's income is 67% of the parties' combined net monthly income, Father's support obligation for the two children living with Mother is [$804] $820. Using the schedule in [Rule] Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-3 for one child, Mother's support obligation for the child living with Father is [$276] $281. Subtracting [$276] $281 from [$804] $820 produces a net basic support amount of [$528] $539 payable to Mother as child support.

[Additional expenses permitted pursuant to this Rule 1910.16-6 may be allocated between the parties even if the parties' incomes do not justify an order of basic support.]

The trier of fact shall allocate between the parties the additional expenses identified in subdivisions (a)—(e). If, under the facts of the case, an order for basic support is not appropriate, the trier of fact may allocate between the parties the additional expenses.

 (a) Child care expenses. Reasonable child care expenses paid by either parent, if necessary to maintain employment or appropriate education in pursuit of income, shall be allocated between the parties in proportion to their net incomes and added to his and her basic support obligation. When a parent is receiving a child care subsidy through the [Department of Public Welfare] Department of Human Services, the expenses to be allocated between the parties shall be the amount actually paid by the parent receiving the subsidy.

Example. Mother has primary custody of the parties' two children and Father has partial custody. Mother's monthly net income is $2,000 and Father's is $3,500. At their combined income level of $5,500, the basic monthly child support from the schedule in [Rule] Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-3 is [$1,426] $1,463 for two children. As Father's income is 64% of the parties' combined income, his share is [$913] $936. Mother incurs child care expenses of $400 per month and Father incurs $100 of such expenses each month. The total amount of child care expenses, $500, will be apportioned between the parties, with Father paying 64%, or $320. As he is already paying $100 for child care while the children are in his partial custody, he would pay the remaining $220 to Mother for a total child support obligation of [$1,133 ($913 + $220 = $1,133)] $1,156 ($936 + $220 = $1,156).

Rule 1910.16-7. Support Guidelines. Awards of Child Support When There are Multiple Families.

 (a) When the total of the obligor's basic child support obligations equals [fifty percent] 50% or less of his or her monthly net income, there will generally be no deviation from the guideline amount of support on the ground of the existence of a new family. [For example, where]

Example: If the obligor requests a reduction of support for one child of the first marriage on the basis that there is a new child of the second intact marriage, and the relevant monthly net incomes are $2,500 for the obligor, $500 for the former spouse and $1,300 for the current spouse, then the request for a reduction will be denied because the total support obligation of [$1,140] $1,153 ([$584] $586 for the first child and [$556] $567 for the second child) is less than half of the obligor's monthly net income.

 (b) When the total of the obligor's basic support obligations exceeds [fifty percent] 50% of his or her monthly net income, the court may consider a proportional reduction of these obligations. Since, however, the goal of the guidelines is to treat each child equitably, [in no event should either] a first or later family shall not receive preference[. Nor shall], and the court shall not divide the guideline amount for all of the obligor's children among the households in which those children live.

Example 1. The obligor is sued for support of an out of wedlock child. The obligor is already paying support for two children of the first marriage, and has an intact second marriage with one child. The relevant monthly net incomes are $3,800 for the obligor, $1,100 for the former spouse, $0 for the current spouse and $1,500 for the parent of the new child. The obligor's basic support obligations to each family are [$1,061] $1,091 for the two children of the first marriage, [$842] $862 for the one child of the second marriage, and [$708] $724 for the one child out of wedlock for a total support obligation of [$2,611] $2,677. Since the total of these obligations exceeds [fifty percent] 50% of the obligor's net monthly income of $3,800 per month, the court may consider a proportional reduction of all of the orders.

Example 2. The obligor is sued for support of three children of a second marriage. There is already an order in effect for two children of the first marriage. The relevant monthly net incomes are $1,600 for the obligor, $0 for the first spouse and $500 for the second spouse. The obligor's basic support obligations to each family are [$554] $555 for the two children of the first marriage and [$638] $642 for the three children of the second marriage for a total support obligation of [$1,192] $1,197. Since this total obligation leaves the obligor with only [$408] $403 on which to live, the [order for the three children of the second family is too high. The obligor also] orders are too high as the obligor must be left with a Self-Support Reserve of [$931] $981. However, reducing the order for three children while leaving the existing order intact would give preference to the first family, contrary to the rule. Therefore, both orders must be reduced proportionally.

Example 3. The obligor is sued by three obligees to establish orders for three children [born out of wedlock]. The net monthly [incomes] income for the obligor and for each obligee is $1,500. The court would determine that the obligor's basic support obligation for each child is $352 for a total obligation of $1,056 for three children. It would be incorrect to determine the guideline amount for three children, in this case $1,189, and then divide that amount among the three children. However, due to the total support amount exceeding 50% of the obligor's net income, the support orders should be reduced proportionately consistent with subdivision (b) and ensure the obligor retains the Self-Support Reserve of $981 consistent with Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-2(e).

 (c) For purposes of this rule, the presumptive amount of the obligor's basic support obligation is calculated using only the basic guideline amounts of support, as determined from the formula in [Rule] Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-4, and does not include any additional expenses that may be added to these amounts pursuant to [Rule] Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-6. In calculating the presumptive amount of the obligor's basic support obligation, the court should ensure that the obligor retains at least [$931] $981 per month consistent with [Rule] Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-2(e).

Example 1. Assume that the obligor is paying [$565] $566 per month support for one child of the first marriage, plus an additional $200 per month for child care expenses. The obligor requests a reduction in this support obligation on the basis that there is one new child of the second intact marriage. The relevant incomes are $2,400 for the obligor and $0 for both the former and current spouses. The obligor's request for a reduction should be denied because the total of the basic guideline obligations for both children is only [$1,130] $1,132 ([$565] $566 for each child) and [this amount] does not exceed 50% of the obligor's net monthly income. No reduction should be given on the basis that the obligor's contribution to child care expenses for the first child results in an overall support obligation of [$1,330] $1,332 which exceeds 50% of the obligor's net monthly income. Thus, the presumptive amount of basic support for the two children is still [$1,130] $1,132 ([$565] $566 for each child). The court must then consider the deviation factors under [Rule] Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-5 and the parties' respective contributions to additional expenses under [Rule] Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-6 in arriving at an appropriate amount of total support for each child.

Example 2. Assume that the obligor is paying $360 per month support for one child of the first marriage. The obligor has one new child of the second intact marriage. The relevant incomes are $1,500 for the obligor and $0 for both the former and current spouses. No reduction should be given on the basis of the obligor's new child because the total of the basic guideline obligations for both children is only $720 ($360 for each child) and this amount does not exceed 50% of the obligor's net monthly income. Since, however, this amount leaves the obligor with only $780 per month, the court should proportionally reduce the support obligations so that the obligor retains [$931] $981 per month. Thus, the presumptive amount of basic support for the two children is [$569] $519 ([$284.50] $259.50 for each child). The court must then consider the deviation factors under [Rule] Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-5 and the parties' respective contributions to additional expenses under [Rule] Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-6 in arriving at an appropriate amount of total support for each child.

PUBLICATION REPORT

Recommendation 152

 The Domestic Relations Procedural Rules Committee (Committee) is proposing amendments to Pa.R.C.P. Nos. 1910.16-1, 1910.16-2, 1910.16-3, 1910.16-3.1, 1910.16-4, 1910.16-6, and 1910.16-7. The amendments are being proposed as part of the quadrennial support guideline review mandated by federal and state law and the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure. Consistent with the support guideline reviews in 2008 and 2012, the Committee engaged the assistance of Jane Venohr, Ph.D. from the Center for Policy Research, Denver, Colorado, who had been contracted by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services to serve as a technical and economic adviser.

 In addition to advising the Committee on technical issues of support and the current economic climate, Dr. Venohr prepared a report outlining her research, which was utilized by the Committee during this support guideline review process. Dr. Venohr's report entitled ''2015-2016 Pennsylvania Child Support Guideline Review: Economic Review and Analysis of Case File Data'' is available for public inspection on the Committee's website (http://www.pacourts.us/courts/supreme-court/committees/rules-committees/domestic-relations-procedural-rules-committee).

 In conducting the quadrennial review, the Committee not only considered the economic data provided by Dr. Venohr, but also, the practical everyday experiences of litigants, attorneys, judges and domestic relations personnel involved in the domestic relations process. With that said, no significant changes to the support guidelines rules or underlying policies are being proposed by the Committee, excepting the support guidelines schedules and the Self-Support Reserve. The methodology, Income Shares Model, and the economic data set for child-rearing expenditures, Betson Rothbarth-3, continue to be the foundation of the support guideline schedules and have been for at least the past three quadrennial reviews.

 Dr. Venohr's economic data for the updated schedules recommended by the Committee in this Recommendation is based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI), September 2015 data. The 2012 guideline review utilized economic data from the September 2011 CPI. Dr. Vehnor's analysis of the intervening four years demonstrated a relatively small increase in the economic price levels. As a result of the methodology and economic data set remaining constant, the slight upward change in price levels is the impetus for a slight increase in the support schedules.

 It should be noted that Recommendation 146 proposed an amendment to Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910-16-4(d) prior to the publication of this Recommendation. Recommendation 146 is currently in the rulemaking process; however, as Recommendation 146 has not been adopted by the Court at the time of publication of this Recommendation, the current rule is used in this Recommendation and illustrates the changes to the current rule based on the proposed support guidelines. Should the Court adopt and promulgate Recommendation 146, this Recommendation will be revised to reflect any changes to Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910-16-4(d).
