| <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. | |||||
