Simply stated, yes. When physical custody is granted to one parent, generally, the non-custodial parent will be responsible for child support. How custody is divided can impact the amount of child support awarded. Additionally, failure of a non-custodial parent to exercise his or her visitation rights may result in an increase in child support obligations.
