Airline travel and CS

[coolmomof4]

What is the name of your state? Order in NC

I have a general question: Is CS ever really taken into account when there is airline travel involved or vice versa? For instance, if airline travel is split basically 50%-50%, would a judge award less CS than if airline travel is not used? Like if the parties lived closer?

Who moved? If the CP moved, the CP should be responsible for all travel costs, vice versa if the NCP moved, but that's my opinion. Sometimes a judge orders this, sometimes a judge orders the costs to be split. I don't know if the costs associated with travel are taken into consideration when ordering support, but I don't think so.

CP moved with child before an order was in place. When the order was signed, after CP moved, it states the transportation responsibility/ costs etc be split. Jan-Oct even months is ncp's responsibility, other months it's the cp's, then there is holiday and summer schedule and responsibility. Does that help? But the airline travel was added later. We use the same schedule and who pays when, just wondering if the CS could be lowered because she "elects" to use air travel. She actually saves money by flying him back and forth.

We split air travel. There's no break on CS. I could see one if the NCP covered all transportation costs.
