§ 4-209. Minimum support

Even in very low income cases, except in cases of disability or incarceration where a lower amount may be justified, a minimum monthly support of $50, or 10 percent of the obligor's net income, whichever is greater, per month should be set. This will help to maintain information on such obligor, such as his or her address, employment, etc., and, hopefully, encourage such person to understand the necessity, duty, and importance of supporting his or her children.

Paragraph I amended Dec. 23, 1992; amended effective Sept. 1, 2002. Renumbered and codified as § 4-209, effective July 18, 2008; § 4-209 amended September 25, 2019, effective January 1, 2020.
