Understanding Overnight Thresholds Across States
In most Income Shares jurisdictions, child support does not decrease gradually with every single visit. Instead, states establish statutory overnight thresholds that trigger substantial shared parenting formulas:
- Florida: 73 overnights per year (20%).
- Georgia, Ohio: 90 overnights per year (approx. 25%).
- Colorado, Maryland, Oregon: 92–93 overnights per year (25%).
- Utah, South Carolina, Alaska: 110–111 overnights per year (30%).
- North Carolina: 123 overnights per year (approx. 33.7%).
- Illinois, Pennsylvania, Wyoming: 146 overnights per year (40%).
What Legally Constitutes an "Overnight"?
undefinedFrequently Asked Questions
Does picking up the child after school count as an overnight?
Generally no, unless the child sleeps in your home that night. Daytime visitation without an overnight is usually considered regular parenting time already built into basic sole-custody support schedules.
How do holidays and summer vacations affect the overnight count?
Standard schedules (like alternating weekends) produce 52 weekend nights. Adding half of school holidays, spring break, and a multi-week summer vacation typically adds 20–30 overnights, which can push a parent over state threshold cliffs.
