#5050custody 

50% of the #parentingtime DOES NOT MEAN that you - or, more accurately, your #child - are not entitled to #childsupport! In #Virginia, where I practice, #sharedcustody doesn't automatically mean 50/50 #custody (it's anywhere between 90 and 182.5 days), but child support is calculated using a couple key numbers - your combined #income, #support paid for other half or step #siblings, work related #childcare, and #healthinsurance premiums paid FOR THE KIDS ONLY (not for you or for your child's father) - then, the amount of time that you have with the #children is factored in. In Virginia, we literally count the days on a calendar. If your incomes are similar, it's possible there'll be no - or super minimal - child support. But if there's a big disparity? Child support city, especially while your kids are young and need #daycare - hey, it's expensive, y'all. Don't just assume you're not entitled - get the information from a #familylawyer in your #state - or #country (I've had some #international #women reach out, too)!
