Reasonable child care expenses incurred for a child subject to the support
order due to the employment or education of either parent shall be divided
between the parents in proportion to their adjusted gross incomes and added to
their respective shares of the basic child support obligation. Child care
expenses shall be determined by actual family experience, unless the judicial
officer determines that the actual family experience is not in the best
interest of the child. If there is no actual family experience, or if the
actual family experience is not in the best interest of the child, the judicial
officer shall determine a reasonable child care expense based on the cost of
child care from a licensed source. If the primary residential parent chooses
child care with an actual cost that is less than the level required to provide
child care from a licensed source, the judicial officer shall use the actual
child care expense to calculate the child support obligation.
