History: P.A. 92-253 changed “no” to “updated”, deleted phrase “after January 1, 1991”, after “guidelines” inserted “pursuant to section 46b-215” and changed “approved” to “adopted as regulations”; P.A. 11-214 amended Subsec. (a) to substitute reference to Sec. 46b-215a for reference to Sec. 46b-215 and add “arrearage” re guidelines, and amended Subsec. (b) to make a technical change.
In accordance with 296 C. 80, child support orders must be made in accordance with the principles established in statute and child support guidelines, and any deviation must be accompanied by court's explanation as to why the guidelines are inequitable or inappropriate and why deviation is necessary to meet needs of child; court improperly awarded 20 per cent of defendant's annual cash bonus as additional child support. 297 C. 358.
