55A  Simplified outline

  The following is a simplified outline of this Division:

         • A parent's income percentage represents the parent's capacity to meet the costs of the child.
         • A parent's cost percentage represents the extent to which the parent is taken to have met the costs of the child through care.
         • A parent's child support percentage is the difference between the parent's income percentage and his or her cost percentage. Generally, if the parent has a positive child support percentage, the annual rate of child support payable by the parent is that percentage of the costs of the child.
         • If a parent has multiple child support cases, the annual rate of child support payable by the parent for a child is capped by the parent's multi‑case cap for the child.
