Best Answer

Generally no, though there is a presumption of primary residential custody for the obligee parent. In states like California, the amount of time the obligor parent has the child affects the amount of child support ordered.

Clarification

Child support orders and custody orders are separate. Generally, the parent who pays child support pays it to the custodial parent.

You should take this matter back to court immediately to modify your current agreement.

Request that the backdated support be paid in addition to child support going forward
