Frequently Asked Questions
What is considered 50/50 custody?
A 50/50 arrangement means each parent has approximately 182–183 overnights per year. Common schedules include alternating weeks or a 2-2-3 rotation.
Does more custody time mean less child support?
In most states, yes. The parent with more overnights typically receives support, and higher time share for the paying parent often reduces the obligation.
