Terms Used In Maine Revised Statutes Title 19-A Sec. 2008

  • Child support: means money paid directly to a parent, to another person or agency awarded parental rights and responsibilities with respect to a child or to the department on behalf of a child receiving public assistance and medical or dental insurance coverage provided on behalf of a child pursuant to court order. See Maine Revised Statutes Title 19-A Sec. 1501
A stipulation of the parties establishing child support must be reviewed by the court or hearing officer to determine if the amount stipulated is in substantial compliance with the presumptive application of the guidelines and, if a deviation is proposed, whether it is justified and appropriate under section 2007. The court or hearing officer shall review a proposed order that gives the stipulation effect to determine its compliance with this section. [PL 1995, c. 694, Pt. B, §2 (NEW); PL 1995, c. 694, Pt.
