It goes by a % of the father's monthy income, I believe it's around 25% for the first child, and 17% for the second. Like, if a man makes about $900 a month he will pay about $250 a month.
If you have 50/50 joint custody there shouldn't be any child support payments, just the 50/50 shared expenses (e.g. medical insurance, school informs, daycare/afterschool care, sports/school activities).
There is a formula for 50/50 custody as well as shared custody which is a bit different.
The formula goes off of the mothers and fathers incomes as in any other calculation of support for Oregon at least. You can look up the calculation on the web with the correct income information from both parents.
Now, some parents may waive support if incomes are comparable but in general this in not the case.
I do believe some parents may think that because they have 50/50 custody this makes them immune to having to pay child support but that is not the case.
In Calif. it's a formula.

Maintenance and parenting time / access / custody are not usually linked. Shared 50/50 custody does not mean equal maintenance.

Yes, a parent who is unemployed can have custody.
The guidelines are basically the same in every state but obviously there are a few minor differences. Joint custody consists of Primary Custody & Secondary Custody. The parent with primary custody is who the child lives with & the other parent has secondary custody. Depending on the age of the child & the state in which they reside, the court may let them determine where they choose to live. Or if both parents agree on the child's decision then the child can live with either parent.
