Question

Does the non-custoidal parent have to pay child support the summer month that the child is with him?

Answer 1

Usually yes...unless there  is a stipulation in the child support order by the courts.

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

depends on how your court order is written up.

but if you ask me, they shouldnt have to, because if they have the kids, they are supporting them 100% at the moment.

Answer 4

Yes, usually they do unless written differently in the court order.

Answer 5

Yes.  The other parent needs to continue to maintain a home for the child during that month, even if the child is not physically there at the time.  Some expenses like rent for a 2+ bedroom house/apartment & utilities for that house/apartment don't stop because the child is not there.  

The custody agreement should spell this out, though.  

In my husband's case - his child support payment was halved during those two months when he had his daughter in the summer.

Answer 6

Generally, yes.

Answer 7

Depends on what the courts agreed upon sometimes they do but most of the times they don't..
