This number is a snapshot. Child support depends on parenting time, and parenting time drifts — swapped weekends, changed holidays, summer schedules. Vireo keeps the custody calendar, messages and shared expenses in one timestamped record, so what actually happened is never a matter of memory.

Combine monthly adjusted parental gross income; obtain the table obligation by child count; allocate in proportion to parental income; add allocated child care, health insurance and extraordinary medical expenses. If eligible for the shared-parenting credit, multiply the obligor's statutory percentage by the total worksheet obligation and subtract it.
How income is counted: Actual gross income if fully employed or potential income if voluntarily unemployed/underemployed; gross income includes income from any source subject to statutory exclusions. Combined adjusted income subtracts qualifying maintenance, prior support and support for prior-born children.
