Do you have to pay alimony in joint custody?


Do you have to pay alimony in joint custody?


It depends on the circumstances of each couple. In these  cases where there is equal  economic  status  each one  must pay the costs incurred by the minor while  the time with them and the extraordinary expenses equally between both. But it happens in some cases, there is  different economic status  between each  parent. It is then possible to establish as did the  Court judgment of Asturias  in it sentence os April 17, 2009, the requirement that the parent is better off pay a maintenance allowance to  the one who is  worse only the  periods when the child is with the contrary  parent. Or you can set each parent  pays the child  expenses  during the  periods that are in their  company  together with  a sort of quota in proportion to the  economic capacity of each parent to pay extraordinary cost like the father  pays 60% and 40% the mother or otherwise.
