13standard for the total number of children for whom support is being established is
14calculated by determining the appropriate designated percentage standard under s.

for the total number of children and dividing by the total number of
16children.
AB104,15,2417 4. Add or offset the child support obligation for children placed with the other
18parent full-time under subd. 2. with the child support obligation for children in
