6. For Line 5, multiply the amount from Line 3 by 150% (or 1.5) for each parent to determine their adjusted support responsibility.
7. To accurately reflect the time spent with the children, enter the percent of time each parent has in Line 6, normalized by the total days (365).

9. Select the higher dollar amount from Line 7 to enter into Line 8, identifying the parent with the greater financial obligation.
10. Enter the lower dollar amount from Line 7 into Line 9, which represents the lesser financial duty.
11. Finally, calculate Line 10 by subtracting the amount in Line 9 from Line 8 to ascertain the estimated support amount, exclusive of variable costs.
