This presents an interesting aspect of child support. A sole custodial father, who earns substantially more than the mother can still be ordered to pay child support. In general, it is the parent without primary custody or residency of the children. However, in cases where the state has custody, this is not always evenly applied.
Legally, unless the children are receiving AFDC, there is no overriding obligation to order child support, however it is always beneficial that some amount be ordered. Also, the guideline amounts are not mandatory.
