Can a mother get child support from the father when both parents have?
Depends on the judge. (S)Hes not going to award support based on time both parents spend with the kid. (S)Hes going to determine what is in the childs best interest. Sometimes the one who makes more money pays, so that the kid is equally taken care of coming/going. Sometimes the non-custodial parent pays. And sometimes, Mom makes as much as Dad, so no support is awarded. Or Dad gets support from Mom. The devil is in the details.
