What is the appropriate way to divide the amount of child support payments between the father and the mother?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Kilpatrick v. Kilpatrick, 2000 BCSC 1566 (CanLII):
I accept the submission of the father that the appropriate approach is that adopted by Harvey J. in Creighton v. Creighton, [1997] B.C.J. No. 2112 (B.C.S.C.). First, determine the “Table” amount payable by each parent, then multiply each by the percentage of time that parent will have the child and then set off the two payments.
