Answer 2

For the purpose of deciding child support, the court will consider income from all sources, whether or not it is reported or taxed under federal law. The income can be in the form of money, property, or services and includes:

Wages from a job
Tips
Commissions
Bonuses
Self-employment earnings
Unemployment benefits
Disability and workers' compensation
Interest
Dividends
Rental income
Social Security or pensions
Any payments or credits due or becoming due, regardless of the source, including lottery and prize winnings.
The court will deduct certain payments from each parent's gross monthly income to determine the net disposable income. Payments that may be deducted includes taxes, mandatory union dues, mandatory retirement contributions, health premiums, child or spousal support actually being paid, and costs of raising children from another relationship. The court will use the net disposable income of each parent, and the percent of time each parent spends with a child to set the child support amount.

Two children would probably between 22% and 27% of gross, but depends on other factors such as % of placement with each parent etc.

Answer 3

On average you are going to have to pay 20% of your salary to child support.

56000*.20 = 11200

if you get paid twice a month

11200/24 = 467

So you will be paying about $467 a paycheck.

This is just an estimate and child support is negotiable.

Answer 4

It depends on how much he makes.
