If you are in Michigan all of this is calculated and set up as part of the Michigan child support guideline formula.

The child support formula in West Virginia provides a method of calculating a child support obligation where there is split custody. Factors to be considered are the gross incomes of the parties, the relative overnights of the various children with each parent, who is paying for medical insurance for the children, day care, etc.

All incomes are added, one parent gets the time he has the one child the other parent gets the other 3, probably more likely 25%, 75%. Mom pays 2/3 of 1 kid and 2/3 of 3 kids and you pay 1/3 of 3 kids. There is a computer program that is used to do the calculations.

In Nebraska there child Support Guidelines are used. The incomes are inserted, what child lives with what parent, and then the calculation is made. I believe every state has its own version of the Guidelines.
