Child Support payment

    Hi all,

    I'm separated a few years ago and paying child support payments to my ex.
    My kids are 11 and 8.
    She has a good job and earns more than I do. However she often works late and consequently my kids are with childminders a lot which I don't think is right.

    We have an agreement between ourselves that she would be the primary carer and currently I have the kids 4 days out of every fortnight.

    My situation has changed a bit now and I'd like to petition the court for full joint access e.g. the stay with me for a week, then her for a week.

    Questions:

    1. How likely is this to happen?

    2. If we have true joint custody then I would also like to agree child support payments based on 50:50 sharing of expenses, rather than me just shelling out cash to her every month. How likely is this to happen?

    Appreciate any and all comments.
