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.
