HawaiiMelson Formula

Hawaii uses the Melson Formula. Like Delaware, it first ensures each parent has enough for their own basic needs (self-support reserve). Then children's primary support needs are calculated. Finally, a Standard of Living Adjustment shares remaining income to give children the benefit of higher parental income.
