- A Brief Economic
Critique of Virignia's Child Support Guidelines and Recommendations, presented
to the Virginia Child Support Guideline Review Panel, May 23, 2002, by R.
Mark Rogers. This brief analysis reviews the flawed underlying economic
study for Virginia's child support guideline tables, discusses what the appropriate
legal standards are for child support guidelines, demonstrates with economic
exhibits that the presumptive awards are excessive, and shows the accounting
flaws in the typical "multiplier" for shared parenting situations
in Income Shares guidelines. This critique largely applies to all Income Shares
child support guidelines in other states. The Cost Shares model is briefly
discussed as an alternative guideline based on sound legal and economic principles.
