ND HB1443

Amends North Dakota child support guidelines to exclude atypical overtime wages and nonrecurring bonuses from income calculations when the obligor parent does not have significant control over them.

Requires courts to provide a procedure for determining updated child support amounts when an obligor parent becomes unemployed.

Allows rebuttal of the presumption that guideline-calculated support is correct when the obligee's net income is at least three times higher than the obligor's net income.

Excludes employee benefits from gross income calculations unless the benefit can be liquidated without resulting in an income tax penalty to the employee.

Requires the Department of Health and Human Services to conduct rulemaking reviews of child support guidelines at least once every four years, with a drafting advisory committee that includes two legislative assembly members.
