TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the family court act and the domestic
relations law, in relation to the date of adjustment of the spousal
maintenance cap
This is one in a series of measures being introduced at the request of
the Chief Administrative Judge's Matrimonial Advisory Committee.
The maintenance guidelines law, enacted as chapter 269 of the Laws of
2015, provided that the maintenance income cap would be set initially at
$175,000 and would increase pursuant to an adjustment formula keyed to
increases in the CPI on January 31, 2016 every two years thereafter.

child support combined income cap pursuant to the Childs Support Stand-
ards Act would have been adjusted. However, effective January 31, 2016,
90 days after the Governor signed chapter 347 of the Laws of 2015 into

changed to March l St rather than January 31' so as to conform with the
date of adjustment of the self support reserve pursuant to Social
