Section 4071 Of Article 2. Statewide Uniform Guideline From California Family Law Code >> Division 9. >> Part 2. >> Chapter 2. >> Article 2.
4071
. (a) Circumstances evidencing hardship include the following:
(1) Extraordinary health expenses for which the parent is
financially responsible, and uninsured catastrophic losses.
(2) The minimum basic living expenses of either parent's natural
or adopted children for whom the parent has the obligation to support
from other marriages or relationships who reside with the parent.
The court, on its own motion or on the request of a party, may allow
these income deductions as necessary to accommodate these expenses
after making the deductions allowable under paragraph (1).
(b) The maximum hardship deduction under paragraph (2) of
subdivision (a) for each child who resides with the parent may be
equal to, but shall not exceed, the support allocated each child
subject to the order. For purposes of calculating this deduction, the
amount of support per child established by the statewide uniform
guideline shall be the total amount ordered divided by the number of
children and not the amount established under paragraph (8) of
subdivision (b) of Section 4055.
(c) The Judicial Council may develop tables in accordance with
this section to reflect the maximum hardship deduction, taking into
consideration the parent's net disposable income before the hardship
deduction, the number of children for whom the deduction is being
given, and the number of children for whom the support award is being
made.
