Effects of Custody on Child Cupport

Child custody determination will usually be made before child support is figured for a divorce case. The issue of child visitation will also be set after a determination of child custody is made between the parties. Visitation and support are two separate issues within a divorce case as well. Custodial parents cannot deny visitation based on whether or not support is being paid. Even though emotions run very high during this type of situation and it will be very important to make sure that each party keeps in mind that the best interest of the child or children is the key factor in divorce action.
