Supreme Court of Arkansas
In Re Guidelines for Child Support Enf.
February 5, 1990301 Ark. 627
Summary
The court provisionally adopted the Family Support Chart and deviation criteria pursuant to the legislative directive, creating a rebuttable presumption that the chart amount is the appropriate child-support award. It required written or on-the-record findings to rebut that presumption and identified relevant factors for determining or adjusting support. The court also clarified that adoption of the chart alone does not establish a material change in circumstances warranting modification of prior support orders.
