Your lucky in California. In washifas in doesn't matter how much time you have your kid, you still pay full child support. And to get joint custody you have to prove that you get along and such. So if I have my son all week I STILL have to pay full child support that week. Shit sucks. So basically even though I'm a good dad that has my kid 25-40% of the time I pay as much as some dude that never sees there kid.
