The Bureau’s Child Support Manual governs the practices in relation to child support payments.

- The non-custodial makes child support payments, while the custodial parent is presumed to spend the payments only on the child.
- In addition to the net income of the parents, the bureau may also take the parenting time of each parent into account, in order to arrive at a final support amount.
