Visitation Timeshare Calculator
What’s a visitation timeshare calculator? Can it help you in your custody situation?
A visitation timeshare calculator calculates the percentage of time that the mother and father have with the children. So, if you have a this calculator when you set up your custody and visitation schedule, you will know the exact amount of time that each parent has with the children. This is very helpful for parents as they set up a schedule, and it is also necessary to figure out child support. Every state determines child support a little differently, but pretty much every state uses some variation of the visitation timeshare in the calculation. Generally speaking, the parent who has the most time with the child gets child support. In figuring out what the other parent will pay, the court factors in the visitation timeshare of that parent–the more time the parent has with the children, the less child support that parent pays.
Let’s look at a true examples of how a parenting timeshare calculator have helped people in their custody situations. Doug Conway, from Fargo, North Dakota, shared this story:
“I entered into what seemed to be a reasonable mediated settlement and was due to sign it in a few days. I was uncertain about some of the provisions of the visitation schedule as proposed, so I searched the internet for some way to help me sort it all out, and I found Custody X Change [which has a visitation timeshare calculator]. I downloaded the free trial, entered the terms of the proposed visitation schedule, and was shocked at what I saw. There in clear graphic as well as report views, Custody X Change showed me how the visitation schedule as proposed would result in far less time with my son than the paperwork had led me to believe. It also revealed multiple weekends in a row without any visitation at all, due to the proposed holiday and special event schedule. I printed off the schedule and brought it to the next mediation meeting. As a result, I was able to change the proposed schedule to avoid the problems. Without Custody X Change, I would have signed the proposed agreement and found out about the problems and conflicts only after it was too late. Custody X Change took the raw date that I had been staring at for days, and in a few minutes, gave me a crystal clear picture of the resulting schedule.”
Doug was able to use the timeshare calculator in Custody X Change to help him see the true picture of the schedule. This is one of the benefits of the software–you can enter in your schedule and see the exact time that you have with the children. Then you can know for certain that you have a shared schedule, or that you have fair visitation time.
