Child Support Guidelines – Sole Parenting v. Shared Parenting
Child Support Guidelines – Sole Parenting v. Shared Parenting
When calculating child support, New Jersey has two separate support worksheets, a sole parenting worksheet and a shared parenting worksheet. To qualify for a shared parenting worksheet, the non-custodial parent, or the parent of alternate residence, must have at least 104 overnights per year, or two nights per week.
A shared parenting situation obviously affects the support paid due to the significant time both parents are spending with the children. As stated above, although a shared parenting worksheet gives credit to the parent of alternate residence for fixed costs, controlled costs are not adjusted absent a showing of need for that adjustment.
