Questions You Want Answered > Child Custody and Support > If the parents share custody equally, does anyone pay child support?
In Maryland, the answer is "maybe." Because child support is based, not only on the number of overnights the child spends with each parent, but also on each parent's gross income and certain direct expenses each parent pays for the child, such as work-related day care and health insurance.
