<p><strong>Who pays who?</strong></p> |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
The parent who the child lives with most of the time is entitled to get child support from the other parent |
|
|
|
(the payor). This is to help with the costs of raising the child. If a child spends the same or almost the same |
|
|
|
amount of time with each parent, then parent with the higher income may have to pay child support to the other |
|
|
|
parent. |
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<p><strong>What is the 40 percent principle?</strong></p> |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
When a child lives with a payor 40 percent of the time or more, that parent can argue that they don't have to pay |
|
|
|
as much support as the guidelines say. The judge or master may agree and order lower support amounts. |
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
When a payor makes this request, the judge or master will consider how often the children are with the payor, |
|
|
|
as well as the gross annual income of each parent and extra costs of sharing parenting time. The court will |
|
|
|
also consider other factors, such as the circumstances of both parents and of the child being supported. |
