Idaho Child Support requires parenting time percentages

Idaho Child Support software requires a parenting time percentage for each parent in order to figure out child support, based on the guidelines set by the state of Idaho.

Parenting time is the total time each parent spends with the children. To figure out a correct parenting time percentage for Idaho clients, you must count up the amount of time the children reside with each parent. When clients set up a visitation schedule that includes every other holiday, after school visits, alternating weekends and vacation times, it becomes very difficult to calculate a precise percentage.

The parenting time percentage is combined with each parent's income data for a parenting time credit. This credit applies only to joint physical custody cases. Sole custody cases do not qualify for any kind of child support credit based on overnights. Idaho Child Support asks that you enter a percentage in order to calculate child support.

Custody X Change calculates parenting time totals

Custody X Change software includes a parenting time calculator that shows exactly how much time each parent has with the children. It can provide this data as total number of hours, days or as a percentage of time annually.

When users set up a parenting time schedule, the software automatically counts up all the overnights for each parent. This accurate parenting time percentage really helps you use Idaho Child Support software.

Use Custody X Change to get accurate parenting time percentages, because:

• Overnight totals are difficult to figure out by hand, because lawyers must add all the time up within a year for the nonresidential parent.
• Figuring overnight totals adjust every time an attorney changes the schedule.
• Calculating and re-calculating any change to the schedule is so complex, some lawyers are forced to estimate or guess.
• Entering parenting time percentages calculated from a guess or estimate into the Idaho child support formula means that child support amounts will likely be wrong.

Figuring out child support amounts requires exact numbers, from each parent's income to the amount of credits allowed. One of the most important numbers is the overnight total, or how long each parent is scheduled to be with the children. Correct numbers mean the child support amount is fair and accurate, and Custody X Change delivers accurate totals every time.
