If you followed along in the demonstration of the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage (PTDSS) dialog , Paragraph 1.2 Identification of Respondent we intentionally did not supply the Date of Birth for the Respondent thereby allowing us to view the results in the Document Preview tab. Now, when we select to impute the father's income, the program requires the father's age to be able to supply us with the correct amount to be imputed as shown in Figure 2 in red.

Figure 2

Notice the Document Preview tab in Figure 2, "B" is automatically calculated to the minimum of $50 per child.

We will add "42" to the text box named Father's Age. By adding the age of the father, the program will supply line 1. Gross Monthly Income (g.) with the amount of $2610.00.

In this demonstration, Jane and John Sample have two children, Jenny and Bill Sample as shown in Paragraph. 1.3 Children of the Marriage Dependent Upon Either or Both Spouses located in the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage (PTDSS) dialog . The Document Preview tab in Figure 3, "B" the Standard Calculation shows $929. This amount is calculated once we selected imputed income for the father and at this point, we have yet to enter the mother's income.  As we continue to answer questions in this WSCSS Worksheet template, this amount will change.

Washington State Courts use the self-support reserve to calculate low income limitations when setting child support. The self-support reserve is 125% of the federal poverty guidelines. RCW 26.19.065(2). Washington State uses the poverty guidelines updated periodically in the Federal Register by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under the authority of 42 U.S.C. 9902(2). The poverty guidelines were updated in the Annual Update of the HHS Poverty Guidelines, 77 Fed. Reg. 17,4034 - 4035 (January 26, 2012).
