Increases the income threshold for presumed basic child support obligations from $15,000 to $20,000 per month combined parental income, effective August 31, 2021.

Requires obligees to provide obligors with annual child care expense documentation from providers by February 1 each year and notify obligors when child care expenses end.

Modifies minimum basic support obligations by creating separate amounts for one child ($50), two children ($60), three children ($70), four children ($80), five children ($90), and six or more children ($100) per month.

Allows courts to deviate from presumptive child support when the only change in circumstances is an increase to the custodial parent's income if basic support increases, combined gross income is $6,000 or less, or obligor's income is $2,000 or less.

Changes terminology from "gross income" to "parental income for determining child support (PICS)" and eliminates prior deduction rules for child support or spousal maintenance payments in calculating gross income.
