Occasionally, a parent going through divorce will ask if he or she will have to pay child support. It is important to understand that in a case where custody is to be divided between the parents, then there will be one parent who is likely to have to pay child support. The reason why is not that the other parent necessarily is only after money, but that the State of Tennessee requires that the support of the minor child or children be included in any Permanent Parenting Plan. The amount of child support to be paid is determined by the State's child support calculator. The factors involved in child support include the amount of time with each parent, the cost of health insurance on the children, the total number of children, the gross monthly income of the parents and necessary work related child care expenses. When these factors are examined, it is even possible that parents who have approximately equal income and time have a father or mother paying support.
