APPENDIX A
Preface Relating to the Scope of Rule 32, Ala. R. Jud. Admin.
Preface relating to scope. This rule, as amended effective May 1,
2022, shall apply to all new actions filed or proceedings instituted on or
after May 1, 2022. Any actions or proceedings instituted before May 1,
2022, shall be governed by Rule 32 as it read before May 1, 2022.

APPENDIX B
Rule 32(A)(1)(e), Ala. R. Jud. Admin.
(e) The assumption under the Internal Revenue Code that the
custodial parent will claim the federal and state income-tax exemptions
for the children in his or her custody will not be followed in the case;

APPENDIX C
Rule 32(B)(8), Ala. R. Jud. Admin.
(8)
Child-care costs.
(a) Child-care costs, incurred on behalf of the children
because of employment or job search of either parent, shall be added
to the "basic child-support obligation." Child-care costs shall not
exceed the amount required to provide care from a licensed source
for the children, based on a schedule of guidelines developed by the
Alabama Department of Human Resources. Before the Alabama
Department of Human Resources implements any revision to the
schedule of child-care-cost guidelines, it shall provide the
administrative director of courts ("the ADC") a copy of the revised
schedule. The ADC shall, as soon as reasonably practicable
thereafter, disseminate the revised schedule to all circuit and
district court judges and clerks and the Family Law Section of the
Alabama State Bar. The clerk shall maintain the current schedule
in his or her office, shall make it available for review, and shall
provide copies of it on request, at the customary cost for copies of
documents.
(b) After the "total child-support obligation" is calculated,
the amount added pursuant to subsection (B)(8)(a) shall be
deducted from the share of the total child-support obligation of the
parent who actually pays the child-care costs.
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF ALABAMA
January 14, 2022
APPENDIX D
Rule 32(C)(1), Ala. R. Jud. Admin.
(1) Basic child-support obligation.
The basic child-support
obligation shall be determined by using the schedule of basic
child-support obligations. The category entitled "combined adjusted
gross income" in the schedule means the combined monthly adjusted
gross income of both parents. "Adjusted gross income" means gross
income less preexisting child-support obligations, less preexisting
periodic alimony actually paid by a parent to a former spouse. For
combined adjusted gross-income amounts falling between amounts
shown in the schedule, the lower value shall be used if the combined
adjusted gross income falls less than halfway between the amounts
shown in the schedule. Where the combined adjusted gross income falls
halfway or more than halfway between two amounts, the higher value
shall be used. The category entitled "number of children due support" in
the schedule means children for whom the parents share joint legal
responsibility and for whom child support is being sought. The court may
use its discretion in determining child support in circumstances where
combined adjusted gross income exceeds the uppermost levels of the
schedule.

APPENDIX E
Rule 32(C)(5), Ala. R. Jud. Admin.
(5)
Self-support reserve ("SSR") calculation.
(a) The SSR calculation is used to ensure that the obligor's
basic subsistence needs are met.
(b) The amount of the SSR, $981, is based on the 2021
federal poverty levels, adjusted for Alabama incomes.
(c) To perform the SSR calculation, first determine the
"Income Available After SSR" by subtracting the SSR amount from
the "Monthly Adjusted Gross Income" entered on Line 2 of the
Child-Support Guidelines form (Form CS-42); the difference should
be entered on Line 11 of the Child-Support Guidelines form. Next,
calculate the "Income Available for Support" by entering 85% of the
amount entered on Line 11 of the Child-Support Guidelines form
onto Line 12 of the Child-Support Guidelines form.
(d) The "Recommended Child-Support Order" on Line 13 of
the Child-Support Guidelines form is the lesser of "Each Parent's
Adjusted Child-Support Obligation" on Line 10 of the
Child-Support Guidelines form and the "Income Available for
Support" entered on Line 12 of the Child-Support Guidelines form.
If the amount entered on Line 12 is less than $50, there is a
rebuttable presumption that a $50 minimum amount should be
entered.

January 14, 2022
APPENDIX F
Rule 32(C)(6), Ala. R. Jud. Admin.
(6) Zero-dollar order. If the obligor has no gross income and
receives only means-tested assistance, there is a rebuttable presumption
that a zero-dollar order, i.e., and order requiring no child support from
the obligor, shall be entered. If the obligor has no gross income and is
incarcerated or institutionalized for a period of more than 180
consecutive calendar days, there is a rebuttable presumption that a
zero-dollar order shall be entered. Completion of the Child-Support
Guidelines form (Form CS-42), the Child-Support-Obligation Income
Statement/Affidavit form (Form CS-41), and the Child-Support
Guidelines Notice of Compliance form (Form CS-43) specifying the reason
for the zero-dollar child-support order is required.

APPENDIX G
Committee Comments to Amendments to Rule 32
Effective May 1, 2022
Rule 32 was amended effective May 1, 2022, to address certain
issues and to make technical changes.
The first paragraph of this rule, entitled, "Preface relating to scope,"
provides that the amended rule is effective May 1, 2022. The amended
rule applies to all new actions filed or proceedings instituted on or after
that date. Any actions or proceedings instituted before May 1, 2022, will
be governed by Rule 32 as it read before that date.
The appendix to Rule 32, the Schedule of Basic Child-Support
Obligations, has been updated after a review conducted in compliance
with Rule 32(G). The previous schedule was developed through research
sponsored by the National Center for State Courts. The Alabama
Administrative Office of Courts contracted with the Center for Policy
Research ("CPR") to assist the Committee in its review. The revised
schedule is based on the latest extensive economic research on the cost of
supporting children at various income levels. Specifically, the revised
schedule is based on estimates of child-rearing that were developed by
applying the fifth Betson-Rothbarth study (which is the most current) to
2013–2019 expenditures data and updated to September 2021 price
levels. The revised schedule uses gross income and has been adjusted for
Alabama's income distribution relative to the income distribution for the
United States.
Other assumptions incorporated in the revised schedule include:
(1) Tax assumptions. The revised schedule assumes that all
income is taxed at the rate of a single taxpayer based on federal and state
income-tax withholding formulas;
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF ALABAMA
January 14, 2022
(2) Health-care costs. In respect to health-care costs, the revised
schedule assumes unreimbursed medical costs up to $250 per child per
year; these assumed costs include medical expenses not covered or
reimbursed by health insurance, Medicaid, All Kids, or insurance from
another public entity; and
(3) Visitation.
The revised schedule is premised on the
assumption that the noncustodial parent will exercise customary
visitation rights, including summer visitation. Any abatement of child
support because of extraordinary visitation should be based on visitation
in excess of customary visitation.
The revised schedule includes combined gross incomes ranging
from $0 to $30,000 a month. The previous schedule addressed only
combined monthly gross-income amounts up to $20,000. The data to
address combined monthly gross incomes up to $30,000 is now available,
and the revised schedule based on that data will aid parties, attorneys,
and judges in setting an appropriate child-support obligation.
Because the revised schedule addresses combined monthly
gross-income amounts down to $0, Rule 32(C)(1) has been amended to no
longer give courts "discretion in determining child support in
circumstances where combined adjusted gross income is below the
lowermost levels ... of the schedule." However, Rule 32(C)(1) still
provides that the court may use its discretion in determining child
support when the combined adjusted gross income is above the
uppermost levels of the revised schedule. When the combined adjusted
gross income exceeds the uppermost limit of the revised schedule, the
amount of child support should not be extrapolated from the figures in
the revised schedule, but should be left to the discretion of the court.
Rule 32(A)(1)(e) has been amended to reflect that the assumption
that the custodial parent will claim the federal and state income-tax
exemptions for the child or children in that parent's custody is based not
on the revised schedule but, instead, on the Internal Revenue Code.
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF ALABAMA
January 14, 2022
Rule 32(B)(8) has been amended to add subpart (b); that subpart
provides for an adjustment for the payment of work-related child-care
costs similar to the adjustment for the payment of the costs of health-care
coverage found in Rule 32(B)(7)(f). The adjustment for the payment of
work-related child-care costs has been added to Form CS-42 ("the
Child-Support Guidelines form"). The Child-Support Guidelines form
has been further amended so that the amounts for work-related
child-care costs and health-care-coverage costs are required to be entered
only once.
Rule
32(C),
entitled
"Determination
of
Recommended
Child-Support Obligation," has been amended by adding subsection (5).
Subsection (5) provides for a Self-Support Reserve ("SSR") Calculation in
the Child-Support Guidelines form.
45 C.F.R. § 302.56(c)(ii) requires that child-support guidelines must
"[t]ake[] into consideration the basic subsistence needs of the
noncustodial parent." Alabama previously addressed that concern
through the implementation of an SSR adjustment built into the
schedule. By moving the SSR adjustment out of the schedule and
implementing the SSR calculation as provided in Rule 32(C)(5), this rule
change will aid in transparency and will allow the amount of the SSR to
be updated in the future without having to update the entire schedule.
Rule 32(C)(5)(a) explains that the SSR calculation is used to ensure
that the obligor's basic subsistence needs are met in accordance with
45 C.F.R. § 302.56.
Rule 32(C)(5)(b) explains that the amount of the SSR is $981. The
amount of the SSR that had been incorporated into the schedule was
based on the 2007 federal poverty guidelines, adjusted for Alabama
incomes. The amount of the SSR has been updated to reflect the 2021
federal poverty levels, adjusted for Alabama incomes, which is consistent
with the revised schedule.
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF ALABAMA
January 14, 2022
Rule 32(C)(5)(c) explains how to perform the SSR calculation to
determine the "Income Available After SSR." Rule 32(C)(5)(c) also
addresses the application of an 85% economic incentive. To apply the
economic incentive, the amount of income available for support after
adjusting for the SSR will be multiplied by a factor of 0.85; the product
will be entered on Line 12 of the Child-Support Guidelines form as the
"Income Available for Support." The economic incentive is applied so that
not all of the obligor's earnings exceeding the SSR amount are considered
in determining his or her child-support obligation. The federal and state
payroll taxes on full-time minimum-wage earnings is 13%. Rounding
that percentage to 15%, the 85% economic-incentive adjustment takes
into consideration the payroll taxes on the obligor's earnings exceeding
the SSR amount and also allows the obligor to keep a small portion of
those earnings.
Rule 32(C)(5)(d) explains that the "Recommended Child-Support
Order" on Line 13 of the Child-Support Guidelines form is the lesser of
"Each Parent's Adjusted Child-Support Obligation" on Line 10 of the
Child-Support Guidelines form or the "Income Available for Support"
entered on Line 12 of the Child-Support Guidelines form. If the amount
entered on Line 12 is less than $50, there is a rebuttable presumption
that a $50 minimum amount should be entered.
Rule 32(C) has been further amended by adding subsection (6),
entitled "Zero-dollar order." That subpart provides for a rebuttable
presumption that an order requiring no child support from an obligor
should be entered in specified limited situations. The provision in
Rule 32(C)(6)(a) that there is a rebuttable presumption that a zero-dollar
order applies when an obligor "has no gross income and receives only
means-tested assistance" is not intended to impede a court's discretion
under Rule 32(B)(5) to impute income to a parent that the court finds is
voluntarily unemployed or underemployed. Rule 32(B)(5) is unaffected
by this provision.
