There's two types - physical and legal. Most parents have joint legal custody, this grants them the right to make emergency medical decisions, educational decisions, etc. Physical custody is where the child actually lives. If the physical custody is joint at 50/50 then no one pays child support - they just support the child during their custody time. If one parent has more custody, then the other pays child support, but the amount is varied depending on the custody split. If you have primary (usually around 67%) then the father will likely have alternating weekends and holidays. In this situation, he will pay child support. If the split is 52/48, then he likely won't have to pay. You can however ask for certain types of support, such as the father's job offers better medical insurance so you ask the judge to order the father to pay the child's medical insurance, and you can ask that tuition to private schools and fees for extra activities (like little league) be split between you. <br><b>References : </b><br> It depends on the type of custody.

If he has primary custody (meaning you see the kid, say only every weekend or something), then you will probably have to pay child support. Also it depends on how much money both of you make.<br><b>References : </b><br> only if you have primary custody (if you take care of the child the most).
