You can always pay more than you are legally obligated to pay if you so desire. 17% is the figure used for one child. With more children, the percentage is raised exponentially.

Where the combined parental income exceeds $80,000 per year, the court has discretion to depart from the child support percentages as to those portions of income in excess of $80,000.00.

In addition to ordering the payment of child support, the Court can order the non-custodial parent to pay his\her pro rata share of the children's un-reimbursed health care expenses, the child care expenses when the custodial parent is working or attending school, the children's educational expenses, as well as the costs of extra-curricular activities.

Can your ex get child support from you even if you have primary physical custody and more income than him in California?

Yes, but it's not typical. Child support is based on the income of both parents, as well as the amount of time each parent has with the child. If you make significantly more than him, and he has partial custody, he could potentially get child support from you. Again, this is not typical, and you would have to make a lot more money than he does.

Is receiving child support considered income?

Presuming you mean for taxes...as for lenders and such the answer may be different. No. Child support payments are neither deductible by the payor nor taxable to the payee. When you total your gross income to see if you are required to file a tax return, do not include child support payments received.


I pay 50 percent to child support can a creditor garnich more?

Actually they cant garnish anymore from your income because really they aren't suppose to take more than 30% out of your income 30% goes to your child and the 70% goes to your personal needs like your home morgage,car note, insurance, entertainment,ect. 30% goes to your child for their needs like clothing, food, home, allowance,ect. so you might want to take your total income a month and take 30% out to see how much you are to pay in child support!


How much child support do pay with two kids?

Child support is based off both parents income. So it will vary, if two or more kids are involved the child support is not as much if you had just one. If you pay child support for kids with different mothers the oldest child will always receive more support than the younger kids. Also if you have more kids with a different mother and she files for child support, the other kids who already receive support will decrease.


Who gets more child support first child's mother or second child's mother?

No one gets "more"; it's based on income. The first child's mother is no more special & does not deserve any more than the second.
