VADER ONLINE requires overnights
VADER software requires an overnight total for the noncustodial parent in order to figure out child support, based on the guidelines set by the state of Virginia.
Parenting time is the total overnight time each parent spends with their children. To figure out a correct parenting time totals for Virginia, you must calculate the amount of time each parent spends with the children.
VADER needs an overnight total in order to calculate child support. When clients set up a visitation schedule, it can be tedious and often difficult to calculate a precise overnight total.
This information is combined with data concerning each parent's income and the parenting time credit applies to only joint physical custody cases. Sole custody cases do not qualify for any kind of child credit based on overnights. VADER software asks you to enter overnights in order to calculate child support.
Custody X Change calculates overnights
Custody X Change software includes an overnight calculator that shows exactly how many overnights each parent has with the children.
When users set up a parenting time schedule, the software automatically counts up all the full, half and quarter days for the nonresidential parent. This accurate parenting time total really helps you get the most out of VADER.
Use Custody X Change to get accurate overnights, because:
- Parenting time totals are difficult to figure out by hand, because lawyers must count each night for the nonresidential parent.
- Figuring overnights adjust every time an attorney changes the schedule.
- Calculating and re-calculating any change to the schedule is so complex, some lawyers are forced to estimate or guess.
- Entering overnights calculated from a guess or estimate into the Virginia child support formula means that child support amounts will likely be wrong.
Figuring out child support amounts requires exact numbers, from each parent's income to the amount of credits allowed. Another important number is the overnight total, or how long each parent is scheduled to be with the children. Correct numbers mean the child support amount is fair and accurate, and Custody X Change delivers accurate totals every time.
