It depends on the type of joint custody. Custody is broken down into two subcategories- legal and physical. Legal custody is the ability to make decisions concerning the child and to act on the child's behalf. Physical custody is who the child lives with. Typically unless the child spends exactly 50 percent of the time with each parent, one parent is considered to have primary custody and the other parent to have secondary custody or visitation rights. Child support is based on who has primary physical custody, and that parent is typically awarded child support from the parent who has the child less since having the child more usually means that you provide for more of their needs as well.
Even sole custody fathers can be ordered to pay child support, when they earn more than the mother. see links
Generally, the parent with the greater amount of physical custody is entitled to child support.
Read your support order. You can't usually be joint custody and non-custodial at the same time.
