HB 1552 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Child support; revise to calculate with shared income of both parents.

HB 1552 would change Mississippi's child support calculation system to consider both parents' combined income instead of only the non-custodial parent's income. It replaces the current percentage-based schedule with fixed dollar amounts for different family sizes, as shown in the bill's table of adjusted monthly gross income ranges. This change would directly affect all parents involved in child support cases across Mississippi, including both custodial and non-custodial parents. The bill also incorporates additional court considerations from existing sections to guide judges in calculating payments.
