How Iowa Child Support is Calculated

Iowa uses an income shares model:

Combined parental income determines basic support obligation
Obligation is divided proportionally based on each parent’s income share
Adjustments made for parenting time and additional expenses
For shared custody (128+ overnights each), an offset method is applied
