↑Expands rights of the paying or noncustodial parentmodel confidence 90%
Allows courts to order the higher-income custodial parent to make recurring payments to the lower-income non-custodial parent in joint/shared custody cases when specific conditions are met, and treats such payments as child support that can be netted against the non-custodial parent's obligation.
the court may direct the custodial parent to pay a recurring sum of money to the non-custodial parent and/or to third parties on the child's behalf while in the care of the non-custodial parent where the court finds, in a written decision, that: (1) the non-custodial parent has been awarded substantial parenting time with the child; (2) the custodial parent has far greater income and/or assets than the non-custodial parent, and the non-custodial parent does not have the ability to earn sufficient income to provide for the child's basic needs when in the non-custodial parent's care;

↑Expands rights of the paying or noncustodial parentmodel confidence 80%
Authorizes payments from custodial to non-custodial parent only when the non-custodial parent has been awarded substantial parenting time, which supports and incentivizes shared parenting arrangements.
(1) the non-custodial parent has been awarded substantial parenting time with the child;
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds provisions to both the Family Court Act and Domestic Relations Law allowing courts to order child support payments from a higher-income custodial parent to a lower-income non-custodial parent in joint or shared custody cases under specific conditions, including substantial parenting time awarded to the non-custodial parent. This expands rights for the paying/less-custodial parent by enabling them to receive support and by facilitating netting of obligations, while also tying the availability of such payments to substantial parenting time.
