I can only answer for Ontario Canada. Here the cost should NOT come out of the child support payments the cost shoud be split proportionately (based on income) between both parents. The laws could be very different depending on where you reside. * The terms of the support agreement determine what is covered. Generally child care expenses are a separate issue and should be addressed as such in the support petition. If there are not stipulations in the support order the custodial parent will need to petition the court to have the order amended to include childcare and perhaps other expenses (educational, medical, etc.).

If an adult child moves into her boyfriends' house does the custodial parent still get child support?
Unless there are unusually circumstances, once a minor becomes an adult under the laws of the state in which he or she lives (or as stated in the support order) child support ends. If he or she has established residence outside the custodial parent's home with the approval of the custodial parent, the obligated parent should petition the court to have the support order amended or rescinded. Child support money is for the support of minor children and not "owed" to the custodial parent. The custodial parent does have the legal right to sue the obligated parent for any arrearages or "extra" expenses incurred while the minor child was in his or her care.

If the support order included a provision continuing support while the child was enrolled in college it does not matter where the child is living, as the support is to reimburse the custodial parent for the non custodial parents share of the child's expenses. If the child is attending school the custodial parent is likely still paying expenses for that child regardless of where they are living

In Florida, what is taken into consideration is the custodial AND non-custodial parents income. An affidavit is filed in court (for the hearing), to accurately provide the financial information on both parents.

Usually 49% and 51% respectively.

No. The purpose of child support is to help pay the day to day costs of caring for a child. It can be used at the discretion of the custodial parent for rent, mortgage, utility bills, auto expenses, food, clothing, medical expenses, entertainment, educational needs, etc. You cannot pay it over to a child because it is a right owned by the custodial parent and the funds are the property of the custodial parent.
