Do you know of any cases where the custodial father has to pay child support to the non-custodial mother because she is a full time student and works only part time and the custodial father makes significantly more than her? Our lawyer put the fear in us with this possibility but I can't find any information on how the judge would deem to do such a thing. I understand not asking the non-custodial mother to pay child support, given the differences in salaries but to ask the Custodial parent to pay? in this scenario both of the would have joint custody and 50/50 parenting time.
