He has to apply for the child support to be reduced though based on the new custody agreement.

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.
Father has full custody of children. Mother pays child support for them. Who is responsible for child care expenses?
The father does, since the mother is paying her share towards the children in the form of child support.
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.
Does a father have the same legal rights to a child if neither has custody in Louisiana and the mother took the child to another state?
No. If you are not married the mother have custody automatically since birth. The only way for the father to get it is by proving paternity in court and he can then petition for custody, visitation and pay child support. Until then he can not stop her and the child form leaving. If you are married she can also leave with the child and so could you since you both have equal right to the child then.

You now have full custody of your child and receive no support. How do you get your garnished tax return for back child support applied to what the mother owes?
You can't. If there has been a change in the custody order you are still responsible for any arrears incurred while the other parent had legal custody. Your garnishment will not be returned to you since it was imposed for money you owed. You owe those arrears until they are paid in full regardless of the change in custody.
Would it be wise to file for full custody of a 17 yr child if you were being sued for child support?
If you are not able to pay child support how will you afford a 17yo? Clearly that will weigh in if you file for custody. And even then you still owe the other parent the money since they have payed your part. I would not bother about that but if the child want to stay with you they soon turn 18 and can do what they want.
Is the mother of a child born out of wedlock the custodial parent?
Yes, since we know she is the parent. The father have to prove paternity by a DNA test in court and he can then petition for visitation, custody and also pay child support.
