Yes correct, the child support guidelines factor in the number of overnights with each parent.

If you follow the Child Support Guidelines, disclose all income and appropriate expenses of both parties, the result is 'The Result' regardless of who will pay how much.

It is possible with the new guidelines that the person who has the children for more overnights can be shown to pay. If that actually happens is up to the court.

Usually the person having less overnights is the one with the child support obligation. I am a little confused as to how she is paying you. If guidelines show more, you may be entitled to a modification. Pending, of course, other stipulations. This is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as all inclusive. Contact an attorney of your choosing for further information.
