If he has joint custody, he will be ordered to pay child support. The amount of child support is determined by what is on your W-2s. It doesn't matter how many letters he has written regarding who provides financial support. Custody is based on who provides the daily love, care and physical support for your children. Don't let him push you into anything just to have it over with sooner. You still have many years to raise your children and they have a right to that support.

Unless you are a complete (excuse this please) peice of trash then there is no way he will get custody no matter how much he fights. If you are a good mother and you probably are then the courts will award you custody and he will have to pay support to the kids. My ex-wife and myself have 50/50 custody and I pay child support, medical and dental coverage and private school. We never fought about it, it is just a fact that they are my kids and I want them to be taken care of and a GOOD Dad will do that. My ex had an affair but I did not hold that against my girls. We get along for our girls even thought we don't like each other. By the way we did not have to go to court since we came to agreement quickly. When a parent puts their kids best interest first then the rest is easier to deal with. Good luck but hold firm!

I am in the same boat. My husband's lawyer sent my attorney a letter claiming that joint custody was an option IF no child support had to be paid. His claim is that I make more money than he does, but the W-2s state differently. In addition, he went to multiple parties asking for character statements claiming he was the "primary financial provider". I am excited that he would offer joint custody and the proposal not to go to litigation, but what makes me sad - and what my gut tells me - is that he will retract that position if we go to litigation over assetts. It's a double edged sword. My best of luck to you. It's such a hard position to be in and as a mother, it's even harder.
