Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana
I was trying to use the child support calculator to determine the weekly support obligation but I am confused by the child care question. Do both parents enter the amount they must pay while the child is in their care or just the custodial parent? Since we have the child during all school breaks (due to distance), we generally pay more for childcare than the custodial parent. Will the calculator take this into account?

Custodial only, and no. You would need to petition the court to deviate from the presumed amount based on the state formula.
