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.
In many states the court will order that both legal parents retain custody (sometimes called joint, or shared, legal custody). This means each parent has equal authority over the key decisions in the childâs life (such as education and medical care), as well as a legal obligation to care for and support the child.
