A: You may have to pay child support with 50/50 custody in Iowa, depending on many circumstances.
Iowa law requires that the court must consider the best interest of the child and order a custody arrangement that will give the child the chance for maximum continuing physical and emotional contact with both parents after the parents have separated and dissolved the marriage, and which will encourage parents to share
Logistical Complications: Shuffling children between two homes can be logistically challenging, particularly if parents live far apart or have differing schedules. Joint custody arrangements require much more frequent exchanges between the parties, which can create greater burdens on the parties and the children.
Parental Conflict: If there is significant conflict between the parents, a 50/50 arrangement can exacerbate tensions, which may negatively impact the child. Logistical Challenges: Coordinating schedules, transportation, and other logistics can be complicated and stressful, which can affect the child indirectly.
Iowa family courts tend to show preference toward awarding joint legal custody of children, meaning both parents have an equal right to make decisions about their childs upbringing including medical care, education, extracurricular activities, and religious upbringing.
