Note: The following example shows how the child support obligation is determined for a shared-placement parent who receives a child's benefit under 42 USC 402 (d):
Assumptions:
Two children
Parent A has placement 146 days or 40% of the year.
Parent B has placement 219 days or 60% of the year.
Parent A's current monthly income available for support is $2000.
Parent B's current monthly income available for support is $2500
Parent B receives a $1000 per month child's benefit under 42 USC 402(d) based on Parent A's entitlement to federal disability or old-age insurance benefits under 42 USC 401 to 433.
Calculation:
Calculation: | ||
Parent A | Parent B | |
Monthly income available for child support | $2,000 | $2,500 |
Monthly income available for child support X percentage standard for two children | $2,000 X 25% = $500 | $2,500 X 25% = $625 |
Amount X 150% | $500 X 150% = $750 | $625 X 150% = $937.50 |
Amount X proportion of time spent with other parent | $750 X 60% = $450 | $937.50 X 40% = $375 |
Child's benefit X proportion of time spent with parent not receiving the child's benefit | $1,000 X 40% = $400 | |
Add last two amounts | $375 + $400 = $775 | |
Offset | $775 - $450 = $325 (Parent B) |
Note: Section 46.10 (14) (cm) 1, Stats., caps the amount that adoptive parent/s may be ordered to pay for child support to the amount of the adoption assistance.
