Pennsylvania High Income Child Support Cases
Pennsylvania has a special formula for determining child support for high income individuals. The formula applies when parents' combined net, after tax monthly income is above $30,000. The formula is a new law in Pennsylvania and effectively overruled the case of Melzer v. Witsberger, which formerly dictated that high income child support cases were determined based the reasonable needs of the children. The new rule is intended to streamline the process for high income individuals and also to bring all child support cases under the Pennsylvania Child Support Guidelines and treat similarly situated parties and children similarly.
