Name: spalomino New Member   Title: Child Support if each has a child

We recently separated and my son 12 decided to live with me. My daughter is living with my wife. Do I have to give her support money? or do the costs split since each has a child? Thnks

It depends upon where you live, how much money you each make (in many places, the higher wage earner will pay child support to the lower wage earner even if the custody split is 50/50), the amount of time you will each spend with the child not living with you, etc. It's best to contact the local court or an attorney to discuss these issues.
