Sole custody is when only 1 parent has the right to choose where their child goes to school, which doctor they see, and what religion they partake in. Child support is the money that the non-custodial parent will pay to help support the child.

Will you receive more child support with sole custody as opposed to joint custody?
You may since sole custody implies the child lives with that parent 100% of the time. With joint custody the child may dwell with the other parent for part of the time or with one parent all of the time with visitations for the other parent. It depends on the details and the state child support guidelines.
