- 1 -A Primer on Deviating for a Child Support Award by R. Mark Rogers, Rogers Economics, Inc. Revised January 31, 2017 Introduction Child Support guideline awards are not written in stone. Whether you are a noncustodial or custodial parent, you have the right to ask the court to make an Award that is different from what is called the presumptive Award if your case facts indicate that the presumptive Award is not appropriate. The presumptive Award is the default Award based on certain required inputs into the Award formula. Such inputs include monthly income and the number of children and possibly other factors that vary somewhat by state. There is never a guarantee that the court will diverge from the standard Award , but understanding and applying the proper procedure for Deviating can boost the odds of an Award that is more appropriate for your situation.
