How Connecticut calculates child support
Connecticut calculates child support using the Income Shares model under CGS Section 46b-215a. Both parents' net incomes are combined and a basic obligation is determined from the state schedule. The obligation is split proportionally based on each parent's share of combined income. Connecticut calls its cooperative track Nonadversarial Divorce. A shared custody adjustment applies at 35% or more overnights (128 nights).
State-specific details including deviation factors, modification procedures, and enforcement rules are available through the official Connecticut child support agency.
