You don't determine that, your state laws do. You give all the info on his income to the courts, they subpeona the info to double check it and go from there.

There are web sites. It's called a child support calculator. You can figure in everything from his and your wages to any extra things you are paying for. Childcare, private school, etc. Also if either of you have children from other marriages to support. You can actually print the paper out and use it when you go back to court. Well, at least in N.C. you can. Just type in child support calculator and you should get lots of hits.

Definately need to consult with a lawyer.
Your income will be compaired to his and the overall expenses of raising a child.
Since your X makes very good money he will definately be responsible for most of the child raising costs.
Make a list of everything you spend money on for your son. Food, cloths, recreation, doctors, baby sitter, ect.., each and every thing that requires money needs to be on that list.
It also may help to make another list of the rest of your expenses that way the lawyer knows how much you make and how many bills you have.
Rent or morgage can also be a part of child raising expenses, as well as electric, water, cable, ect..
Good Luck!

u need to assess the living expenses for your child as well as things for activities and clothing. then you might be able to get an increase. but now a days they go by both incomes to during the amount that should be contributed by one party.

Be prepared girl, the Judge decides. And when the Judge has decided and it's LESS than you're getting now you ain't gonna be happy. I've seen it happen with someone I know.

There is a basic format in each state. Let the court tell you.

go to your local state child support website and they usually have a child support guideline area that you put in the income and it calculates the percent that your entitled to. every state is different.
