Child Support Recalculation Program scheduled to begin operating in January 2010.

The Child Support Recalculation Program is an administrative program that will annually recalculate child support in eligible court orders based on current income tax information.  A key feature is that there is no need for the court to order recalculation to participate in this initiative.  This means that many parties with existing child support orders will be eligible for registration with Child Support Recalculation Program, without the need to first return to Court to ask for a "recalculation clause" in their order.
