37.62.128    INCOME AVAILABLE FOR STANDARD OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT (SOLA)

(1) The purpose of SOLA is to ensure that the child enjoys, to the extent possible, the standard of living commensurate with the parent's income. If a parent has income available after deducting the personal allowance and the parent's share of the child support allowance as supplemented, the remaining income is subject to SOLA.

(2) SOLA is calculated by subtracting from the parent's income available for support, as provided in ARM 37.62.116 the parent's share of the primary child support allowance under ARM 37.62.121 and supplements as provided in ARM 37.62.123.

(3) If income is available for SOLA, multiply the income by the SOLA factor from the following table which corresponds to the number of children for whom support is being determined.
