A lot of people seem to be under the impression that if there is joint custody, child support is reduced. However, this is not the case. In deciding whether to reduce child support, the court looks at the amount of time the children spend with each parent, not the custody arrangement.
The primary, or principal, residence is one where the child lives. In other words, this is where the child spends most of his/her time. For example, parents may have joint custody of the child but the child may spend the majority of the time with the mother or father, thereby having his/her primary residence with that parent.
A party who applies for custody of a child or tutorship to a child must attest that the child is not the object of a court nor a pending case before a court decision to of an agreement with the Director of Youth Protection, or, if such is the case, must give the particulars of such decision or pending case to agreement.
