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.
Most custody arrangements are joint custody, which generally refers to a shared legal custody even if only one parent has physical custody. If a parent has legal custody of her child, it means she has the court-granted right to make important, long-term life decisions on behalf of the child. This includes choice of schools, religious education, health care, discipline, and other areas of life.
