Calculate how childcare, medical, and extracurricular expenses are split between parents proportionate to income under the Federal Child Support Guidelines.
Estimate only — not legal advice. The expense must first qualify as a Section 7 expense.Expenses are split based on each parent's share of combined income, not a straight 50/50 split.
Subtract any tax credit, subsidy, or insurance reimbursement before splitting the expense.
Extracurricular and educational costs must be shown to be extraordinary — not every activity qualifies.
Document the gross cost, any subsidy applied, and the resulting net amount for every claimed expense.
