A. For purposes of determining child support, shared custody is defined as a parent's visiting with the child for 123 or more overnights a year. Shared custody will result in a different amount of child support than in a sole custody situation.
Much more common than true joint custody arrangements (where both physical and legal custody are shared) is joint legal custody, in which both parents share the right to make long-term decisions about the raising of a child and key aspects of the child's welfare, with physical custody awarded to one parent.
