That income is before tax. His total tax is probably 30-35% so his take home pay per month no more than $3600. You can't get much more then $700 from him per child if he doesn't have many children.
He should only have to pay 1/2 of the child support with the other half from the mother. If the mother doesn't work, he can argue for her to get welfare. Of course, the mother might try to get alimony from him as well.

Most states set it at 15% I think. If there are two children then the total amount will be no more than 20%, and so on. Now, if he has children with someone else and is paying child support there too, that will count against the amount you get.

It depends on the state in which he lives, his expenses (must be reasonable) and the income of the ex-spouse. Each state has tables that set the minimum amount that must be paid. Any amount above and beyond the table is subject to negotiation and requires the agreement of the one who is paying the support.

Whatever the divorce attorneys decide. A father may think it's too much but it doesn't matter. A child deserves financial support. If you have reasonable attorneys and the two parents are being reasonable, it can work out well enough.

It depends upon the state they live in, the cost of living in that state and the lifestyle the child was used to prior to the divorce as well as the custodial parent's income as well.
Obviously dawnb knows nothing of divorce/support laws the attourneys do NOT decide. (hopefully she will never have to go to divorce court she will come out flat broke and homeless)

He should pay 50% of expenses and 50% of the childs time. But of course the courts in our great country thinks otherwise.

This sounds about good for newborn help. theres fairly no longer a lot you could do about it once the choose assigns it no matter if you wish it or no longer. basically dont fall in the back of as its no longer extraordinarily. newborn help and custody topics are both parts you could run her again into courtroom after the perfect decree is issued so save an eye fixed on her

I live in Illinois, US. My ex husband was court ordered to pay 21% of his income in child support.
I have a dear friend who was court ordered about the same but, because he loved his son he provided much, much more because of what his son needed not because of what was ordered and not to get back at his ex.
He knows he is 50% vested in his child even if he didn't get to see him as much as he wanted.

do a search on google that looks like this " your state " and "child support calculator" find the calculator and type it in. it all depends on how many other children you have, how much the wife makes, how much she pays for health insurance & day care etc...

All depends on how often he sees the child and how much the mom makes. State laws affect it too.
