Sec. 46b-215e. Initial or modified support order where child support obligor
is institutionalized or incarcerated. Notwithstanding any provision of the general
statutes, whenever a child support obligor is institutionalized or incarcerated, the Superior Court or a family support magistrate shall establish an initial order for current support, or modify an existing order for current support, upon proper motion, based upon
the obligor's present income and substantial assets, if any, in accordance with the child
support guidelines established pursuant to section 46b-215a. Downward modification
of an existing support order based solely on a loss of income due to incarceration or
institutionalization shall not be granted in the case of a child support obligor who is
incarcerated or institutionalized for an offense against the custodial party or the child
subject to such support order.
