The parent with physical custody receives child support from the other parent. If the parties have shared custody the court will use state guidelines to determine if someone pays child support and how much.

With limited exceptions, child support in California is typically calculated using a computer program which focuses primarily on two factors: time share and income of the parties. The first factor, time share, describes how much time the child spends with each parent. Time share is expressed by a percentage, in this case 50% or equal custody. The second factor is the income of each parent. When one parent's income is greater than the other, that parent is usually ordered by the court to provide support for the child. If your jurisdiction is California, divorce attorneys should be able to help you file this type of motion. Read more about it here: www.cadivorce.com/areas-of-practice/child-custody

Parents often have joint custody with one parent having physical custody. Generally, the parent with physical custody receives child support from the non-physical-custody parent. There are other arrangements whereby the parents share physical custody. States are required to have child support guidelines and the guidelines will control who pays child support and how much. The court will issue a court order to that effect.

Either they don't pay child support but splits everything equal but you really need to agree on this because it can be complicated. Otherwise one pay the other and then that person is responsible for everything the child needs. This is usually easier when it comes to clothes etc. Cost like living, food, electricity etc is not in the child support then since the child share those equal with the parents.

I don't think so because my parents have joint custody and my dad pays child support. But my mom might have custody of me and just let me see my dad so he's always a part of my life!

Do you have to have custody to file for child support?

Your question could be read in different ways. Child support is intended only for the support of children and their needs. If the children are in the custody of (living with and being supported by) someone who is not the parent on a regular basis, that person must petition the court to be appointed the legal guardian and then petition for a child support order against the parents. If you are the parent then you must have custody in order to get child support. If your children are in the custody of someone else, such as the example provided above, you cannot receive child support.

If parents have joint custody of a child is the mom entitled to child support?

In Wisconsin, it depends on who has physical placement of the child. It may also depend on who has the higher income of the both parents. It is possible that even with joint custody you will still have to pay child support to the other parent. Joint custody simply means both parents have equal rights in making decisions for the well-being of the minor child/children. The person with whom the child resides the majority of the time is the person who generally receives support to be used for the child's needs. If the time is equally divided the court will decide if and how any child support will be allocated, based upon income levels of the parents and the needs of the child.


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.
