A. For purposes of determining child support, shared custody is defined as a parent's visiting with the child for 123 or more overnights a year. Shared custody will result in a different amount of child support than in a sole custody situation.
The most common form of joint legal custody designates one parent as having primary residential (i.e., physical) custody. In a similar way, physical custody may be awarded to one or both parents. Here, sole physical custody gives one parent physical possession of the child and the other has specific visitation rights.
