If the father has custody of the child 100% of the time, he should not be paying any child support. He should be collecting child support.

Your question is a little confusing, because you state that you have full custody. The relevant question is how much "visitation" has the other parent been awarded. If she has no visitation, then Mr. McCormick's response is correct. If she has visitation, I would need to know other factors to calculate your guideline support, such as her income, visitation percentage, tax filing status, and whether either of you have other children from other relationships.
