Custody Time Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Custody Time Percentage (CTP) is:

\[ \text{CTP} = \left( \frac{D}{T} \right) \times 100 \]

Where:

\(\text{CTP}\) is the custody time percentage
\(D\) is the number of days the child spends with one parent
\(T\) is the total number of days in the period being considered

What is Custody Time?

Custody Time refers to the period during which an individual is held in legal custody, typically in a jail or prison, while awaiting trial or after being sentenced. This time can be considered when determining the individual’s overall sentence, potentially reducing the time they must serve post-conviction. The length of custody time can vary greatly depending on the nature of the charges, the legal process, and the jurisdiction’s laws and regulations.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Number of Days with One Parent (D) = 120 days
Total Number of Days (T) = 365 days

Using the formula to calculate the Custody Time Percentage:

\[ \text{CTP} = \left( \frac{120}{365} \right) \times 100 \approx 32.88 \% \]

The Custody Time Percentage is approximately 32.88%.
