I'm gong to try again and see if I can get a clearer answer from any folks on this forum around the issue of support payments in a shared custody arrangement.
I know from researching the topic that in these arrangements the support amount to be paid is the difference between what each parent would pay the other for their custody of the children, with the higher earner paying the difference to the lower earner.
How often does this actually happen in the real world, or is it so hard to get a court order for this that most people who would stand to benefit from it don't even bother trying?
If this is actually the way it works most of the time, what's the likelihood of it when one parent makes almost twice as much as the other parent?
