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 8 in the method statement in section 35 for each parent.
           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 annual rate of child support for the child worked out under step 8 of the method statement; 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).
