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.
(Note: physical custody is, in most cases, also shared.) The significance of frequently awarding joint legal custody is that the parent who has visitation rights or secondary physical custody of the children cannot be cut out of the decision-making process regarding any major issues involving the children.
