Shared Care

Can anyone tell me what the rules are regarding shared care for the NRP under the old system? I gather it's not as simple as the new system where you receive 1/7th allowance for each night, but I'm unsure how it's calculated.

    Shared care only applies if you have the child/ren for at least 2 nights per week on average under the old rules to start with. The rest can't be accurately predicted without the details of the PWC income if there is any. If there is none, then it is calculated the same but the minimum must be a 2/7 reduction and it applies per child.

    Under the old rules (which I am still under) I have my son for 175 nights per year and get a reduction of 3.15/7ths.
