Typically, the nondomiciliary parent (usually the parent with less time) pays the domiciliary parent. In a shared custody (equal time) arrangement, the parent with higher income generally pays the other parent. This evens out your contributions to your childs care.
In a joint custody arrangement, both parents are awarded legal custody of their child but not equal physical custody. Essentially, both parents have the rights and responsibilities of joint custodians (responsibility to confer, right to visitation, etc.) but they do not equally share the physical custody of the child.
Joint equal physical custody works best for children when the parents live within walking distance or a very short drive of each other, when the parents reside in the same neighborhood and school district and parish.
Basic principles. The premise of these guidelines as well as the provisions of the Civil Code is that child support is a continuous obligation of both parents, children are entitled to share in the current income of both parents, and children should not be the economic victims of divorce or out-of-wedlock birth.
It seems logical that if your custody is shared, you each cover costs for the child when the child is with you. However, in California, custody and child support are two separate components, and one parent may be required to pay child support to the other even in a 50/50 arrangement.
