After completion of each parent's Form No. 14, subtract the smaller amount from
the greater, and the parent with the larger of the two obligations shall pay the difference
between the two obligations.
E. EXAMPLE: Mother, who has adjusted gross income (line 3) of $2,000.00 per
month, has primary physical custody of the parties' daughter. Father, who has adjusted
gross income (line 3) of $5,000.00 per month, has primary physical custody of the parties'
son. Mother is ordered to maintain a policy of health insurance for both children, which
costs $200.00 per month. Father is ordered to pay the private high school expenses of the
son, which are $250.00 per month, and the post-secondary educational expenses of the
daughter, which are $400.00 per month.
The presumed child support amount payable by Mother to Father for the parties'
son is $271.00 per month (Exhibit 1). The presumed child support amount payable by
Father to Mother for the parties' daughter is $634.00 per month (Exhibit 2). The net
difference is $363.00 per month, which is the amount in this example Father is obligated
to pay Mother.
The court or administrative agency may use the following language: "Father shall
pay to Mother the sum of $634.00 per month for the parties' daughter, beginning on
____________, 20__, and on the _______ day of each month thereafter. Mother shall
pay to Father the sum of $271.00 per month for the parties' son, beginning on
____________, 20__, and on the _______ day of each month thereafter. During any
