PA - I am trying to use the PA child support calculator located at https://www.humanservices.state.pa.us and one of the questions is:

Is there a mortgage payment for the marital home? If the Custodial Parent (CP) occupies the marital home, and the mortgage payment exceeds 25% of the Custodial Parent's income (including support due), the Noncustodial Parent can be required to pay up to 50% of the excess amount. If the Noncustodial Parent occupies the home under the same conditions, a downward adjustment can be made.

I transfered the house my ex wife and I were living over to her as part as the divorse settlement. I am free and clear of this home now. Would the above statement still be marked as "yes" for my situation? I am the non-custiodal parent.

Please help! Thanks

It looks pretty clear. CP occupies the marital home. If the mortgage payment exceeds 25% of CP's income (including child support), then NPC can be required to pay up to 50% of the excess.

So does the mortgage payment exceed 25% of PC's income (including child support)?

I think that he should consult a local attorney. I am thinking that clause may apply during the two year required separation period in PA.

It would be odd otherwise, and I don't believe that we have heard of anything like that being standard in PA.
