What does this mean in more laymen terms?

Monthly gross income based on earning capacity may be imputed in an

amount less than would be imputed under subsection 3 if the obligor

shows:

a. The reasonable cost of child care equals or exceeds seventy

percent of the income which would otherwise be imputed where

the care is for the obligor ’s child:

(1) Who is in the physical custody of the obligor;

(2) Who is under the age of fourteen; and

(3) For whom there is no other adult caretaker in the parent’s

home available to meet the child’s needs during absence due

to employment.

  1. I'm not entirely sure but I think they are guidelines as to how much has to be payed for child support based on a cost that is considered a normal fee of taking care of children, who is in charge of the child, the child's age, and how much money a child would need if he is home alone such as a business trip and the child it able to take care of him or herself. (not entirely sure about that very last one).


  2. Less child support can be ordered by the court if:

    a. It costs 70% or more of their income for child care.

    b. They have physical custody of the child.

    c. If the child is under fourteen (and)

    d. The parent has to travel due to work and there is no other available caretaker in

         the home.
