Most states use a calculator/formula to decide what will be owed by whom, see this website: http://www.child.ws/child-support-law.php
I don't believe you should worry for what he will or won't be able to pay. The issue here is the child(ren) and what they need to maintain a good quality of life and health. Even in a good, amicable divorce that is still the main issue. The courts here in VA looked at what we both earned, who was covering medical/dental insurance and whether or not the child(ren) would need daycare/summer camp/care and holiday camp/care and at how much. Hope that helps, good luck! There are some great dad's out there and I thank them for helping take care of thier children!

I THINK the answer is 23% of "take home" pay. So for $300, estimate $75 for taxes and another $45 for health insurance and any other benefits and that leaves him with $180. That means about $40 a week or $175 an month
I may be wrong, but this is DEFINITELY a close estimate.

they dont worry about his bill they add his income with her income and split the % of both and based on both incomes (monthly) put together and teh % they set it from that my husband makes 428 a week and his ex make 500 a week and his child comes out to 390 a month if you make more then your ex you will end up paying more

well my brother has to pay child support and they just take it out of his check like how they do it when they take out for taxes you can do it like that and the judge usually tells you how much you have to pay if this is a new job you need to make an appointment with the courts and tell them how much you get paid and according to your income they will tell you how much you have to pay. Then if you wated taken out of your check atomatically you can do it like that. that is the way my brother does his child support.

I don't know. but I believe that it's based on the income, without regard to his bills. I know that happened to my brother when he had to pay child support - he lived in Maryland at the time.

each and every state has certain costs that are deemed proper through the legislature. The decide can award as a lot as this volume, and regulate down if he feels the daddy doesn't make a residing salary. commonly speaking, the guidelines are honest in maximum states, so a decide awards in protecting with those quantities.

It will be to your best interest , to get a lawyer who specializes in child support cases, they take a percentage, but with what he makes, you will come out on top.

The rates different from state to state. Generally it is 30% of gross earnings and it also depends on the number of children.
