Alabama Child Support Guideline Changes Stall
Posted on 04. Apr, 2009 by Alabama Divorce Lawyer, Jim Jeffries.
For years, many of us involved in divorce and family law cases have recognized that the Alabama Child Support Guidelines are due to be updated. Recently, the Advisory Committee on Child Support Guidelines and enforcement made recommendations to the Alabama Supreme Court to adopt certain changes that would update the guidelines.
I learned this morning that the Alabama Supreme Court has decided to reject the recommended changes. Apparently, one of the Justices of the Supreme Court will make a written statement to the Committee advising them of the Court’s concerns. I will be very interested to see their comments.
In the meantime, we will have to continue to use the guidelines that are currently in place.
UPDATE: The new Child Support Guidelines did finally pass and were effective January 2009.
