Child support is generally paid to the one who has the major part of the custody but when you split it more equal the one paying pays less since he then have the child more than earlier and therefor pay already while the child is in his custody. He has to apply for the child support to be reduced though based on the new custody agreement.

How does joint custody affect child support in Georgia?
It depends on the type of joint custody. Custody is broken down into two subcategories- legal and physical. Legal custody is the ability to make decisions concerning the child and to act on the child's behalf. Physical custody is who the child lives with. Typically unless the child spends exactly 50 percent of the time with each parent, one parent is considered to have primary custody and the other parent to have secondary custody or visitation rights. Child support is based on who has primary physical custody, and that parent is typically awarded child support from the parent who has the child less since having the child more usually means that you provide for more of their needs as well.
