When parents share 50/50 custody, they assume there won’t be any child support. Only problem is that’s not how it works in real life. Neither parent can negotiate away child support, and everyone’s bound by Utah’s child support guidelines. Child support is straightforward. The more parent-time one parent has in relation to the other (i.e., the farther you are from 50/50 custody), the more child support will be paid. On the flip side, the closer you get to 50/50 custody, the less child support will be paid. At 50/50 custody, child support usually becomes minimal, but there will be something, unless both parents make the same amount. Here’s an example of what I mean: Husband and Wife have 1 child. Husband makes $6,000 gross per month. Wife makes $3500 gross per month. If they shared 50/50 custody, Husband would pay $141 per month in child support. So, sharing 50/50 custody doesn’t mean you won’t pay child support. You very likely will, unless incomes are the same.
I don't think so
