Section YAE.09.09 — Split-Placement Guidelines

(a) Split-placement calculations must be used when the parents have two or more children and each parent has placement of one or more, but not all, of the minor children.

(1) Calculate each parent's monthly income available for child support. If one or both parents have a prior child support obligation, determine the parent's adjusted gross income available for this child support order pursuant to Section YAE.09.07(h).

(2) Multiply the amount of adjusted gross income for each parent by the pro-rata percentage standard for the number of children in split-placement who are placed with the other parent. The pro-rata percentage standard for the number of children in split-placement who are placed with the other parent is calculated by determining the appropriate percentage standard for the total number of children, dividing the total number of children and adding together the percentages for the children in split-placement who are placed with the other parent as follows:

(A) 2 children=12.5% for each child (25% divided by 2)

(B) 3 children=9.67% for each child (29% divided by 3)

(C) 4 children=7.75% for each child (31% divided by 4)

(D) 5 children=6.8% for each child (34% divided by 5)
