. (a) The statewide uniform guideline for determining child support orders is as follows: CS = K[HN - (H%)(TN)].
  (b) (1) The components of the formula are as follows:

  (D) H% = approximate percentage of time that the high earner has or will have primary physical responsibility for the children compared to the other parent.
