Who pays child support if parents share custody of children?

Answer 1

The parent with physical custody receives child support from the other parent. If the parties have shared custody the court will use state guidelines to determine if someone pays child support and how much.

Answer 2

With limited exceptions, child support in California is typically calculated using a computer program which focuses primarily on two factors: time share and income of the parties. The first factor, time share, describes how much time the child spends with each parent. Time share is expressed by a percentage, in this case 50% or equal custody. The second factor is the income of each parent. When one parent's income is greater than the other, that parent is usually ordered by the court to provide support for the child. If your jurisdiction is California, divorce attorneys should be able to help you file this type of motion. Read more about it here: www.cadivorce.com/areas-of-practice/child-custody

Answer 3

Parents often have joint custody with one parent having physical custody. Generally, the parent with physical custody receives child support from the non-physical-custody parent. There are other arrangements whereby the parents share physical custody. States are required to have child support guidelines and the guidelines will control who pays child support and how much. The court will issue a court order to that effect.

Either they don't pay child support but splits everything equal but you really need to agree on this because it can be complicated. Otherwise one pay the other and then that person is responsible for everything the child needs. This is usually easier when it comes to clothes etc. Cost like living, food, electricity etc is not in the child support then since the child share those equal with the parents.
