Thank you for your comment and question. Typically, the Courts cannot deviate from the child support guidelines aside from a really good reason that meets the statutory requirements. Although still rare, it is possible to agree upon and have the Court enter an Order for non-guideline but still appropriate support for your daughter. To achieve such an order there must be an appropriate discussion with the Court concerning the child support statute and a judicial officer’s limited legal permission to deviate from the guidelines due to the inequity, injustice or inappropriateness of the plain application of the child support guidelines.
