37  Formula 3: Method statement using incomes of both parents in multiple child support cases with no non‑parent carer
  This is how to work out the annual rate of child support payable for a child for a day in a child support period if no non‑parent carer has a percentage of care for the child for the day.

      Method statement
           Step 1. Follow steps 1 to 6 in the method statement in section 35 for each parent.
           Step 1A. Work out the costs of the child for the day under section 55HA.
           Step 1B. If a parent has a positive child support percentage under step 6 of the method statement in section 35, work out the following rate:

           Step 2. Work out each parent's multi‑case cap (if any) for the child for the day (see section 55E).
           Step 3. If a parent has a positive child support percentage under step 6 of the method statement in section 35, the annual rate of child support payable by the parent for the child for the day is the lower of:

                (a) the rate worked out under step 1B of the method statement in this section; and
                (b) the parent's multi‑case cap (if any) for the child for the day.
Note: If a parent's percentage of care for a child is more than 65%, the parent's annual rate of child support for the child is nil (see section 40C).
