Care

  • Care Percentage

    Care percentage is the share of time a parent cares for a child over a year, usually based on nights, and is used to calculate child support.

  • Below Regular Care

    Below regular care means 0 to 51 nights a year. The formula treats that parent as meeting none of the child’s costs through care directly.

  • Above Primary Care

    Above primary care is when a parent has 86% to 100% care and is treated as meeting 100% of a child’s costs through care.
