There's no "fixed" rate. It depends on your state laws, how many children you have and his income.

Child support is usually based upon a salary/annual income. If there is an increase in income, child support can be increased by going to court. However, if there isn't any increase but a decrease in income, going to court may cause the court to lower the amount of child support. Realize increasing child support may not be financially feasible & trying to get it may actually hinder getting any at all. I have seen examples of both increases & decreases occur. Be careful - your children deserve to be cared for & supported by your exspouse - but not at the risk of financial support to you. Make sure an annual income increase will get you what you want.

Maybe you need to prioritize. What comes first your childrens well being or them money.
Seems like you want an easy ride to me. Your probably like this gal I know.
She's got 6 kids, all from different men, the gov built her a home, the govt pays her for the kids, foodstamps, money for the kids, healthcare, and she drives a 2006 Escalade...
Thats probably what your dreams are.

child support goes into percentage on how much each of you makes. Jut because he is the man does not mean he has to pay you a bunch of money. There are so many varies that go into this..doing it on your own is maybe not a good idea. It would depend if he gets the kids..who makes more...My ex pays me 127 per month for 2 boys..We share them equally...SO, it all depends. I would defiantly get legal assistance to help- figure it all out.

fixed amount per child, each the same ... varies by state/county, based on
a % of the (higher wage earners income - spouses income) - % of visitation by non-custodial parent = child support

It's usually all spelled out, regarding your income, his income, and the financial responsibilities of both parents. Your attny should be advising you.

Not really sure, I think it's depends on the state you live in and how much your spouse earns.
