Who qualifies as a couple to get the reduced rate?
Any two people who are going to be involved in co-parenting. Because we are concerned with the impact of co-parenting on children, we consider the parents who are getting divorced or separated or even those who were never married to be a couple for purposes of this rate reduction, also a parent and the parent’s new partner or spouse, two grandparents, a parent and a grandparent, or any other combination of two people who are related or connected through their relationship with the child for whom there is or will be a parenting plan.
