Child support, is based on the needs of the child and the economic situation of the parents.

Child support is primarily determined by what it takes to provide the child with a reasonable standard of living, based on what the two divorced parents have available. Sole custody indicates that the child will be living solely (with limited visitation) with a just one of the parents. Thus, that parent will be responsible for providing the vast majority of the food, clothes, etc. that the child will be using. The non-custodial parent now no longer will be providing those (if they had shared custody). So it is likely that the court will also modify the child support requirement - either reducing the amount the custodial parent had been paying the now non-custodial parent, or increasing the amount that the now non-custodial parent had been paying the now custodial parent.

Not unless she lives with him and is a convicted pedophile or something. Each of the parents will probably have a new spouse one day and then none will have custody? Life moves on and that will not affect custody.


Can a custodial parent get more child support when their teenage children choose not to visit their non-custodial parent?

No, visitation and child support are 2 separate entities. The only way this would affect your support amount is if you are set up with 50-50 custody and the child stops going to the other parents house and you take them to court to get primary custody.
