The issue of child support is a highly charged emotional area of family law. Child support is based on a formula adopted by the state legislature which considers the mother’s income, the father’s income, and the percentage of time the child spends with each parent. This information is plugged into a judicial council format, a computer application that determines tax consequences and net income for each parent available to the court to award support. If both parents have equal income, and both parents share custody of their child, neither parent will pay child support. They are deemed supporting their child by virtue of having them in their care.
If the parents have 50/50 custody, but one has a higher income, the higher-earning parent will pay some support. They will pay 50% less support because they have the child 50% of the time, but support will be due to the other parent based on the disparity of the two parents’ income. This is due to the legislative intent to balance the child’s environment. Hypothetically, in unequal income, the court does not want the child living, for example, in a studio apartment and a 5-bedroom mansion. So the court awards child support evenly in a 50/50 custody based on equalizing the child’s atmosphere in each parent’s home.
