Child Support Guidelines t15: Does anyone know if the amount of visitation given to the non-custodial parent affects the amount of child support to be awarded?
For instance, in my state, as the parent with primary physical custody, I should receive child support of 25% (2 kids) of AGI, plus childcare, healthcare, etc . BUT, is the overall CS amount lowered based upon the amount of visitation given to the kids mother (she gets 2 days per week and every other weekend, it's like a 60% Me, 40% Her split) Need to have an idea as we go to court Friday...Thanks.
Re: Child Support Guidelines in_search_of: Sometimes it can be, there is an adjustment line on the worksheets for the most part that allows the parties to work with an adjustment for visitation being different than the norm. This is usually done only in extreme cases or to give an adjustment for one party paying lots of travel expenses or something like that.
