That's something you and he will decide. Are there problems with substance or alcohol abuse? Is he a good dad? Depending on the situation, that should guide you somewhat in what you think is right.


From reading here in this forum I now understand that child support (either way--him paying you or vice versa) is set on the time the child(ren) is with each parent...and I saw where someone said 12 hours+ counted as a full day in their state (I think it was TN).

In MA, child support has nothing to do w/ the amount of time spent on visitation unless there is joint physical custody.

I'm the one from TN who spoke about the 12 hours being counted as a day.
