6.10 Split Custody (Worksheet A)

Under La. R.S. 9:315.10, split custody means that each parent is the sole custodial or domiciliary parent of at least one child of the parties to whom support is due. Each parent completes Worksheet A for the children in the other parent’s primary custody.1  Then each parents’ theoretical obligation is subtracted, and the parent owing the greater amount as reflected in the two worksheets, owes the difference to the other parent as a child support obligation.2
