Can I get child support with joint physical custody in MA?
I have been divorced for several years. When I was divorced, my husband and I were making roughly the same amount of money and he insisted on joint physical custody. Two years ago I was laid off and my income dropped by more than 40% when I finally found another job. I didn't think I was eligible for child support, but now (after depleting my savings and forgoing all vacations, major purchases, etc.) I wonder if I would qualify for child support? My ex-husband refuses to contribute to my children's college educations. I have 2 high school-aged children who spend the majority of time with me, despite the original "agreement" which called for about a 55% (me)/45% (him) time split.
Thanks
