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.
Under Michigan law, courts already can award joint physical custody, or shared physical custody.This means that the court would begin from the premise that parents always will share physical custody 50-50 unless there is a reason not to do so (namely, domestic violence).
We work out each parent's income percentage by dividing each income by the combined total.We subtract the cost percentage from the income percentage for each parent. We call this the child support percentage. The result will determine if a parent pays or gets child support.
The most common arrangement is one in which one parent has sole physical custody, both parents have legal custody, and the noncustodial parent is granted visitation time.
In the case of a 50/50 split, the higher earner usually pays child support to the lower earner to ensure the children's standard of living is the same in both locations.
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.
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.
