 ==== d) Shared Custody ====
-Shared Custody is a term used by the Federal Child Support Guidelines, and not by either the ''DA'' and the ''FLA''. Shared custody is a form of joint custody in which the child spends an almost equal time with each parent, often switching homes on a frequent basis, every few days or once a week. Usually, this requires that the parents live near one another and have good communications skills and that the child is able to adapt to living in two homes. This will affect child support.
