SB1040 Summary

• Amends child support law to reduce the threshold for parenting time adjustment from 205 overnights to 180 overnights per year with children, allowing noncustodial parents to receive child support reductions more easily.

• Establishes presumptive parenting time adjustments based on overnight parenting schedules, with reduction factors ranging from 50% to 2x depending on number of overnights (121-180+ nights annually).

• Clarifies that proceedings under child support modification statutes fall under exclusive jurisdiction of either district court or administrative court, eliminating concurrent jurisdiction.

• Provides that failure to exercise ordered parenting time or exercising significantly more overnights constitutes material change of circumstances, allowing obligors to be denied adjustments for future periods.
