Parent Custody Blog

Helping keep you informed on Parent Custody issues….

My friend is going through a divorce with 2 biological children. If he takes possession of his son and she (the ex) keeps possession of the daughter, who will pay child support. Isn't a child support order mandatory in Texas? Neither should pay child support, correct? What happens?

since they both have one child they could agree on no child support. then again if one makes more money than the other that one might have to pay some child support. Only the court or the lawyers can decide what works for this family. Each case is different and should be.

    I don't know about texas..but most likely here in CA there would be no child support exchanged. Each parent would be responsible for that one child.

    They can agree to no Child Support if they want to… While there are guidelines, they can deviate from them if they agree to specific terms. It would only be reasonable to have zero CS if there were 50/50 time and/or they were sharing custody in this manner.

    Just my opinion.

    Same rules as joint physical custody, plus depending on the difference in incomes, unless she's the one who earns more.
