90% of fathers with joint custody pay ordered alimony/child support, compared to 79% with visitation privileges and 44% without visitation or joint custody.
Minimum visitation as defined by Florida amounts to 15.4% of the time with the child.
60% of joint custodians contribute “extras” compared to 20% in sole custody situations.
