Re: child support
Indirect child support as you are describing it probably refers to the rule that while a spouse's income is not considered when calculating support under the guidelines it can be used to argue that an order above or below guidelines is appropriate. The other possibility would be when parents share custodial rights. In a 50-50 situation neither parent owes aupport to the other. In a situation of 70-30 the parent with 30% custody would owe support but because they are providing food and shelter for 30% of the time they would be entitled to a credit for that. I offer free consultations.
