Child support and shared custody
Hi. I'm new to this site. I'm researching this topic for my husband. He currently has joint legal custody of his son, with his ex having physical custody. This is the order from their divorce, which was 11 years ago. My stepson is now 14. His mom lives up the street from us, less than a mile from our home. My stepson for all intents and purposes lives with us. He calls our house his home. He sees his mom on average about 2 maybe 3 days a week, sometimes less, due to her busy work and social life.
Needless to say, we need to modify the court order. My husband is still paying her child support, even though the child is with us the majority of the time.
We live in NY. Does anyone have any advice on going about this? Is he still required to pay support even though he's with us more than half of the time?
