Answer 2

For 1 child 20% of total income it goes up 5% for each other child. At least that is what my husband pays though you can work an amount into the divorce decree, be warned up to 50% can be asked regardless of the amount of children. If you are a male get a very good lawyer. Don't rush it whatever you do the faster you want it the worst you will come out of it.
