Recently my son's father was given primary physical custody of my son - I have secondary physical custody - we both have joint legal-custody. What is to been done with regards to child support. My son lived with me for 12 yrs - his father was in and out of jail 10 of those 12 yrs. and never paid child support. Who will have to pay child support now? How is this determined? If no one files, do I give his father money? With regards to school, uniforms, clothing, etc. - I have no problem paying half of whatever the cost but how is that given out? Do I give the father money directly (check)? or do I keep reciepts for everything that I pay for that is related to my son? How do I fill for these expense on my income tax?
Thank you!
