The only one with custody of the unborn child is the pregnant mother. After the baby is born, the parent wishing custody or visitation can file for the same in the appropriate court of jurisdiction (where the child legally resides after its birth).
50% of anything is one half. With 50% physical custody the child would split their time equally between the parents.
If it refers to physical custody it means that the child spends half the time with one parent and the other half with the other parent. If it refers to legal custody it means that both parents have an equal right to make important decisions that will affect the child.

Whoever has physical custody of the child for more than 50% of the year (at least 183 out of 365 days) can claim the child on a tax return. If both parents have 50% custody, whoever has custody of the child on tax day (April 18th in 2011) can claim the child.

Based on North Carolina Law and Florida Law, if you can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you have 50% custody awarded to either spouse, child support will be shared by both parents and in the event of tax time either spouse can claim the child as a dependent upon agreement through the court or the IRS will fine one of you for the deduction

In all 50 states, you have to wait for the child to be born before you can forfeit your rights to a child.
Child support and custody are two different and only distantly related things. If there's a significant earnings disparity between the parents, it's very likely that a court could award child support to the lower income parent in a shared custody situation.
Yes, this is an overal cost load for your portion of the child's care. It is independent of where the child is unless both parties agree to changes. It also depends on what kind of custody you're talking about, physical of legal? Legal custody has nothing to do with child support If you have 50/50 physical custody, that's way different Child support may not even be exchanged. It all depends on how much money is made by BOTH parents.
