Iowa Ct. R. 9.9 (2026)

Rule 9.9 Extraordinary visitation credit. If the noncustodial parent’s court-ordered visitation exceeds 127 days per year, the noncustodial parent will receive a credit to the noncustodial parent’s share of the basic support obligation in accordance with the following table:

Days Credit 128-147 15% 148-166 20% 167 or more but less than equally shared physical care 25% For the purposes of this credit, “days” means overnights spent caring for the child(ren). Failure to exercise court-ordered visitation may be a basis for modification. The extraordinary visitation credit may not reduce support below $50 for one child, $75 for two children, or $100 for three or more children.
