Child Custody Time Equivalents (Timeshare percentages)
California Family Law bases Child Support on several factors, including income of each spouse, certain expenses and the amount of time the child/children spend with the non-custodial spouse.
These Child Custody Time Equivalents (sometimes called Timeshare or Parenting Time) are listed below. Find the frequency of parenting time with the non-custodial spouse and the Timeshare Percentage will be shown. A printable version of Child Custody Timeshare Equivalents is attached at the bottom of the page.
