How is child support calculated in a shared parenting arrangement?
Nova Scotia, Canada
The following excerpt is from MacInnis v. Kennedy, 2010 NSSC 318 (CanLII):
The need for a spouse to establish “a right of access to, or physical custody, of a child for not less than 40 percent of the time over the course of a year” before s.9 will have application, has given rise to detailed record keeping by some parents. The leading authority on how the amount of child support should be determined in a shared custody arrangement is Contino v. Leonelli‑Contino [2006] S.C.J. 65, 2005 SCC 63.
