A trial court can award equal custody to both parties, or grant one party primary custody and the other visitation privileges. In actuality, North Carolina judges rarely award a 50/50 split of time that a child resides with each parent.
The amount of child support to be paid is the table amount plus a share of the special expenses. These expenses are generally shared between the parents proportionately to their income. For instance, if both parents make the same amount of money, the cost of the special expense is split evenly between the parents.
Child maintenance payments It all depends on the child maintenance rate being paid and the number of shared care nights there are. If the day-to-day care of a child is shared equally between the paying parent and the receiving parent the paying parent will not have to pay any child maintenance for that child.
1) If my child(ren) live 50/50 with each parent, there is no obligation to pay support.If child(ren) spend more than 40% of their time at each parent's home, this is referred to as shared parenting.
In most cases of joint custody, the court calculates child support as if each parent has primary custody. They determine what each parent would pay if they were the paying parent. Then, the court offsets the lower amount against the higher.
There is also generally a minimum support obligation for parents with low incomes. When a parent obliged to pay child support makes less than $1,108 per month (as of January 1, 2019), the guidelines require a minimum support order of $50 per month.
Parents can be obligated to pay child support even if they have joint custody of their children.
Child support is still paid when parents have joint custody in Texas in most situations.Generally, in most joint managing conservatorship cases one parent is named the primary conservator who has the right to determine the primary residence of the child, and the other parent has visitation.
In flat-rate states, even in a 50/50 child custody arrangement, one parent is designated the residential or primary custodial parent for child support purposes and the other parent is paying a percentage of their income in accordance with the law regardless.
