Re: child support
Joint custody means both parents share in the responsbility for the care and decision making on behalf of the children. Child support is calculated based on the incomes of each parent and the time spent with each parent. If you now have more time with the children than at the time of the divorce, chances are that your support payments would be lowered. There is an official table which is used to calculate support.
