How is Child Support Calculated in Iowa?
Iowa has strict guidelines that determine how much child support a non-custodial parent must pay. These guidelines take into account the needs of the child and the amount of time the child spends with the parent paying support. The amount of time the child spends with the non-custodial parent is the most significant factor in determining the amount of child support.
Iowa Child Support Guidelines:
- Iowa's child support guidelines are based on the gross income of both parents.
- The guidelines include a minimum amount of support and a maximum amount, depending on the number of children.
- The total amount of support is then divided by the number of children.
- The amount is then set at the minimum amount for one child and then the amount is increased by 5 percent for each additional child.
