- Shared parenting time: Extended shared parenting applies when each parent has the child for more than 127 days a year (35 percent), using Worksheet B (§48-13-501).

Official calculator or worksheet: West Virginia statutory worksheet (Worksheet B, §48-13-502)
West Virginia has no official online calculator; the worksheets are written into the statute (Worksheet A at §48-13-401, Worksheet B at §48-13-502).
This page explains the rules; it does not calculate an order. Health insurance, child care, other children and deviations change the result. Use the official tool and confirm with a family-law attorney licensed in West Virginia.
