oh heres some good reading for ya (only 135 pages!)

it doesnt even look like Maine GIVES a credit for visitation at all:

H. Visitation costs are not factored into the Table. Since the Table is based on expenditures for children in intact households, there is no consideration given for visitation costs. Taking such costs into account would be further complicated by the variability in actual visitation patterns and the duplicative nature of many costs incurred for visitation (e.g. housing, home furnishings).
