Enacts the "family reform act" to revise child support calculation and enforcement in New York.
The Family Reform Act amends child support laws in New York to base child support amounts on the non-custodial parent's income, excluding health insurance costs and federal and state income taxes from the calculation. It reduces the maximum jail time for non-payment of child support and requires courts to collect demographic information on child support cases and publish an annual report. The act also mandates that courts consider certain deductions and factors when determining child support amounts.
