 IT  DEEMS  TO  BE JUST AND APPROPRIATE. SUCH FINDING SHALL BE BASED UPON
 CONSIDERATION OF THE FOLLOWING FACTORS:
   (A) THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES OF THE VEHICULAR ASSAILANT  AND  THOSE  OF

 PURSUANT TO CLAUSE (C) OF SUBPARAGRAPH (VI) OF PARAGRAPH (C) OF SUBDIVI-
 SION  ONE  OF  THIS  SECTION,  AND THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES OF ANY PERSON

   (K) ANY OTHER FACTORS THE COURT DETERMINES ARE RELEVANT IN EACH  CASE.
 THE COURT SHALL SET FORTH, IN A WRITTEN ORDER, THE FACTORS IT CONSIDERED
 A. 3378                             4
 
 WHEN  DETERMINING  THE AMOUNT OF THE CHILD SUPPORT OBLIGATION TO BE PAID
 BY A VEHICULAR ASSAILANT TO A SURVIVING PARENT OR GUARDIAN.
   4.  THE  COURT SHALL GIVE STRONG CONSIDERATION TO THE FINANCIAL STATUS
 OF THE VEHICULAR ASSAILANT UPON RELEASE FROM  INCARCERATION,  ACCOUNTING
 FOR COURT FINES AND FEES AND OTHER DEBTS TO THE STATE PREVIOUSLY PAID OR
 TO BE PAID BY SUCH ASSAILANT. IN NO CASE SHALL THE COURT ORDER AN AMOUNT
 OF  BASIC  CHILD SUPPORT OBLIGATION WHICH WOULD PLACE AN UNDUE OR EXCES-
 SIVE FINANCIAL BURDEN UPON A VEHICULAR  ASSAILANT  AND/OR  SEVERELY  AND
 ADVERSELY  IMPACT  THEIR ECONOMIC CONDITION UPON RELEASE FROM INCARCERA-
 TION, GIVING FULL CONSIDERATION TO THE STATE OF SUCH ASSAILANT'S  FINAN-
 CIAL RESOURCES AND BARRIERS THEY MAY FACE IN FUTURE EMPLOYMENT.
   5.  NOTWITHSTANDING  THE  PROVISIONS  OF  SUBDIVISION  THREE  OF  THIS
 SECTION, WHERE THE ANNUAL AMOUNT OF THE CHILD SUPPORT  OBLIGATION  WOULD
 REDUCE  THE VEHICULAR ASSAILANT'S INCOME BELOW THE POVERTY INCOME GUIDE-
 LINES AMOUNT FOR A SINGLE PERSON AS REPORTED BY THE  FEDERAL  DEPARTMENT
 OF  HEALTH  AND HUMAN SERVICES, THE BASIC CHILD SUPPORT OBLIGATION SHALL
 BE TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS PER  MONTH.  NOTWITHSTANDING  THE  PROVISIONS  OF
 SUBDIVISION  THREE OF THIS SECTION, WHERE THE ANNUAL AMOUNT OF THE CHILD
 SUPPORT OBLIGATION WOULD REDUCE THE VEHICULAR ASSAILANT'S  INCOME  BELOW
 THE  SELF-SUPPORT  RESERVE  BUT  NOT BELOW THE POVERTY INCOME GUIDELINES
 AMOUNT FOR A SINGLE PERSON AS REPORTED  BY  THE  FEDERAL  DEPARTMENT  OF
 HEALTH  AND  HUMAN SERVICES, THE CHILD SUPPORT OBLIGATION SHALL BE FIFTY
 DOLLARS PER MONTH OR THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN  THE  VEHICULAR  ASSAILANT'S
 INCOME AND THE SELF-SUPPORT RESERVE, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.
   6.  WHERE  A VEHICULAR ASSAILANT IS OR MAY BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE NON-
 RECURRING PAYMENTS FROM EXTRAORDINARY SOURCES NOT  OTHERWISE  CONSIDERED
 AS INCOME PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
   (A) LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES;
   (B) DISCHARGES OF INDEBTEDNESS;
   (C) RECOVERY OF BAD DEBTS AND DELINQUENCY AMOUNTS;
   (D) GIFTS AND INHERITANCES; AND
   (E) LOTTERY WINNINGS,
 THE  COURT,  IN  ACCORDANCE  WITH SUBDIVISION THREE OF THIS SECTION, MAY
 ALLOCATE A PROPORTION OF THE SAME TO  CHILD  SUPPORT,  AND  SUCH  AMOUNT
 SHALL BE PAID IN A MANNER DETERMINED BY THE COURT.
   7.  A  VALIDLY  EXECUTED  AGREEMENT OR STIPULATION VOLUNTARILY ENTERED
 INTO BETWEEN THE PARTIES  AFTER  THE  EFFECTIVE  DATE  OF  THIS  SECTION
 PRESENTED  TO  THE COURT FOR INCORPORATION IN AN ORDER OR JUDGMENT SHALL
 INCLUDE A PROVISION STATING THAT THE PARTIES HAVE BEEN  ADVISED  OF  THE
 PROVISIONS  OF  THIS SECTION. NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION SHALL BE
 CONSTRUED TO ALTER THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES TO VOLUNTARILY  ENTER  INTO
 VALIDLY EXECUTED AGREEMENTS OR STIPULATIONS WHICH DEVIATE FROM THE CHILD
 SUPPORT  OBLIGATION  PROVIDED  HEREIN  PROVIDED  THAT SUCH AGREEMENTS OR
 STIPULATIONS COMPLY WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION.
   8. IN ADDITION  TO  FINANCIAL  DISCLOSURE  REQUIRED  IN  SECTION  FOUR
 HUNDRED  TWENTY-FOUR-A  OF  THIS ARTICLE, THE COURT MAY REQUIRE THAT THE
 INCOME AND/OR EXPENSES OF  ANY  PARTY  BE  VERIFIED  WITH  DOCUMENTATION
 INCLUDING,  BUT  NOT  LIMITED  TO,  PAST AND PRESENT INCOME TAX RETURNS,
 EMPLOYER STATEMENTS, PAY  STUBS,  CORPORATE,  BUSINESS,  OR  PARTNERSHIP
 BOOKS  AND RECORDS, CORPORATE AND BUSINESS TAX RETURNS, AND RECEIPTS FOR
 EXPENSES OR SUCH OTHER MEANS OF VERIFICATION  AS  THE  COURT  DETERMINES
 APPROPRIATE.  NOTHING  HEREIN  SHALL  AFFECT ANY PARTY'S RIGHT TO PURSUE
 DISCOVERY PURSUANT TO THIS CHAPTER OR THE CIVIL PRACTICE LAW AND RULES.
   9. THE COURT SHALL RETAIN DISCRETION IN DETERMINING (A)  THE  DATE  BY
 WHICH A VEHICULAR ASSAILANT SHALL BE REQUIRED TO BEGIN THE CHILD SUPPORT
 PAYMENTS DESCRIBED HEREIN AND (B) THE DURATION OF TIME OF SUCH PAYMENTS,
 A. 3378                             5
 
 GIVING  DUE  ACCOUNT TO THE AGE OF THE SURVIVING CHILD AND THE LENGTH OF
 THE VEHICULAR ASSAILANT'S INCARCERATION,  PROVIDED  THAT  CHILD  SUPPORT
 PAYMENTS  SHALL ONLY BE ORDERED FOR SURVIVING CHILDREN WHO ARE UNDER THE
 AGE  OF  TWENTY-ONE  AT  THE  TIME OF THE COMMISSION OF THE CRIME BY THE
 VEHICULAR ASSAILANT WHICH CAUSED THE DEATH  OF  SUCH  SURVIVING  CHILD'S
 DECEASED PARENT OR GUARDIAN.
   10.  IF A SURVIVING CHILD ENTITLED TO RECEIVE CHILD SUPPORT UNDER THIS
 SECTION  HAS  BEEN  PLACED  IN  THE  CUSTODY  OF A LOCAL SOCIAL SERVICES
 DISTRICT IN EITHER FOSTER CARE  OR  A  RESIDENTIAL  FACILITY,  THEN  ANY
 SUPPORT  ORDERED  UNDER  THIS  SECTION SHALL BE PAID TO THE LOCAL SOCIAL
 SERVICES DISTRICT RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH PLACEMENT OR FACILITY.
   11.   NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER  PROVISION  OF  THIS  SECTION  TO  THE
 CONTRARY,  THE  AMOUNT  OF THE CHILD SUPPORT OBLIGATION DESCRIBED HEREIN
 SHALL BE REDUCED BY THE AMOUNT OF ANY CIVIL AWARD PAID  BY  A  VEHICULAR
 ASSAILANT  TO A SURVIVING CHILD OR SURVIVING PARENT OR GUARDIAN PURSUANT
 TO AN ACTION BROUGHT AGAINST SUCH ASSAILANT BY SUCH CHILD OR  PARENT  OR
 GUARDIAN.
