Example 1C

All 3 kids with Mom ($1,500/mo & $600/mo daycare)

Dad still pays $100/mo for insurance

BUTDad’s income went down to $2,000/mo

Example 1C

All 3 kids with Mom ($1,500/mo & $600/mo daycare)

Dad still pays $100/mo for insuranceDad’s income went down to $2,000/mo

The standard calculation is $877, butDue to 45% limitation, we go to $744.Because of the need standard,

the transfer payment is $638

Example 2A

All three kids live with Mom ($1,500/mo).Dad ($3,000/mo) as another child, Charlie,

from a previous relationship.Dad pays $299/mo child support for Charlie.

The standard calculation is $739, but the Whole Family Formula “deviation” takes off $112, so

the transfer payment is $627

Example 3

Two of the kids live with Mom, who earns $1,500 per month.

One kid lives with Dad, who makes $3,000 per month.

We call this arrangement “split custody.”

This is an Arvey case.

Example 3

For an Arvey calculation, you figure out each parent’s standard calculation, then set them off:

Dad’s standard calculation is $492Mom’s standard calculation is $129

Dad’s transfer payment is $363
