Do courts order child support if the parents have joint physical custody?
December 15, 2023
Even where parents enjoy roughly equal custody, courts can still order child support to be paid to the parent of primary residence if that parent incurs more of the child’s expenses, such as providing health insurance coverage or paying for school supplies. However, in deciding child support, courts will factor in the fact that a family has a joint physical custody arrangement and already shares in some of the costs of child-rearing.
