It all depends, if you are with your mom most of the time, he will pay a certain percentage of his salary according to the judge.

It means a mother who is providing for her family based on one income, usually hers. To understand the concept fully, think of the opposite: a two-income family. In a two-income family, the money earned by both the mother and father go to providing food, clothing, and shelter for the family. Both the mother and father have jobs. A sole income mom is someone who is never married, divorced or widowed. Yet, in these days of rampant unemployment, the father may still be in the home, but is not working. The sole income mom is the only one working in the family, and the family lives off of her paycheck.
