Among couples seeking information about San Jose child support laws, it is a common miscon-ception that joint custody of children from the marriage means that neither parent is liable for child support payments. There are several fac-tors that determine whether a parent needs to pay child support, so it is quite possible to share custody of the chil-dren and still have one parent paying child sup-port.

Another common situation resulting in confu-sion over child support liability is when parents are listed as having joint custody, but one parent spends 60% of the time with the child and the other has the child for 40% of the time. Even if your incomes are equal, the parent spending less time with the child may owe child support.

If you have joint custody and there is a signifi-cant earning discrepancy between you and your ex, it is crucial that you contact an experienced San Jose child support attorney to learn more about how your situation affects child support liability. Without professional legal assistance, you could easily end up paying more child sup-port than necessary or find yourself struggling to provide for your children without the support payments you are legally entitled to receive.
