Re: child support and joint custody

The back child support is done in the sense that it is owed to you. Once support isn't paid for 30 days then that's a judgment against the other party. As for your paying support, likely yes. I'll see people negotiate side agreements for one party not to not pay support but if there's ever a falling out be sure that the other party can always pursue support.
