When does a parent not pay the table amount?

Child support may be different if the parents have:

  • Shared parenting time: where each parent has the child at least 40% of the time
  • Split parenting time: where there is more than one child, and some children live with one parent and the other children live with the other parent

Parenting time is the time that a child spends in the care of a parent. Parenting time used to be called access.

Step-parents may also pay less child support if there is another parent who also pays child support.
