Supreme Court of Arkansas

In Re Guidelines for Child Support

October 25, 1993314 Ark. 644

Summary

The court provisionally adopted revised child-support guidelines, including support charts, income calculations, deviation criteria, and related procedural requirements. It established a rebuttable presumption that the chart amount is the correct support award, subject to a written or on-the-record finding explaining why the guideline amount would be unjust or inappropriate.
