Parenting Time Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate Total Parenting Time (PT) is:

\[ PT = OV + WV + HV + DV \]

Where:

\(PT\) is the total parenting time (hours)
\(OV\) is the time spent during overnight visits (hours)
\(WV\) is the time spent during weekend visits (hours)
\(HV\) is the time spent during holiday visits (hours)
\(DV\) is the time spent during daily visits (hours)

What is Parenting Time?

Parenting time, also known as visitation, refers to the time a non-custodial parent is allowed to spend with their child or children following a separation or divorce. This time is typically outlined in a parenting plan or custody agreement and can vary greatly depending on the circumstances of the family. It is designed to maintain the child’s relationship with both parents and can include overnight visits, weekend visits, holiday visits, or daily visits.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Overnight Visits (OV) = 30 hours
Weekend Visits (WV) = 20 hours
Holiday Visits (HV) = 10 hours
Daily Visits (DV) = 5 hours

Using the formula to calculate the Total Parenting Time (PT):

\[ PT = 30 + 20 + 10 + 5 = 65 \text{ hours} \]

The Total Parenting Time is 65 hours.
