States have guidelines that provide how much should be paid in child support and medical expenses by the non-custodial parent. The guidelines use several factors including income of the parties and who provides medical insurance.

Child support what does it include?
There are no rules governing what expenses child support should be used to pay for, that is left to the discretion of the parent or guardian that the payments are made to. States set minimum standards that must be met by a supporting parent, usually a percentage of the person's income, and then assess the entire family situation before determining if additional amounts should be allotted for expenses such as medical care, education or child care, and any other costs associated with providing a reasonable lifestyle for the child in question. Often child support payments do not come near meeting half of the financial costs of rearing a child when one factors in all the expenses that are paid that the child benefits from directly or indirectly.
Can I lose child support if I had an affair?
Child support is the other parents half of the expenses your child costs each month. You pay the other half. What you do in your private life, sleep with etc, can not change the fact that each parent have to pay for their child. He has an obligation to pay for his child just like you do so the child support goes to the one who has custody for the child. The court do not care about that you had an affair and will not let your child lose 50% of his/hers financial support because of it. Whether to pay or not is not up to the parents.
My childeren reside with me and their father is claiming them on his income taxes. He does not pay child support but does pay for their health insurance. who is the one whom should be claiming them?
If you pay more than half their living expenses, you get to claim them. This is especially true if you can prove that he is not paying child support.
If you pay child support why do you have to pay half for everything your children do as well and shouldn't child support pay for that?
If such expenses are not included in the original child support order the parent contributing the extras has no legal obligation to pay. The terms of the original or amended support order are the only ones that are LEGALLY binding. The responsibility of both parents is to support their child or children financially, emotionally and be involved in their lives in a positive way, w/o having to be "forced" into it. Life is expensive. Do the math of the expenses the other parent has just to provide shelter, food and whatnot and you will find that helping with the extras will provide your child with opportunities that they would not have otherwise. Also, school expenses are getting higher all the time. Alternatively, you could pay the school or other service directly.
If you only received half of the amount of child support for a year can you ask for back child support.?

What percentage of a child's living expenses is the non-custodial parent responsible for?
You go half on a baby so that is what you pay for. The different states have a set sum of about 20-30% of your income that goes to child support. Then it also depends on if someone is at home with the children etc and they will see if you and your ex can get along with who will be paying what regarding school, medical bills etc. Your lawyers will help.

I am paying child support in Wisconsin for 1 child I am divorcing in Iowa and my wife is getting half my salary in alimony Can I modify my child support order based on half income?
You can not modify your child support. Only the court can modify your child support. It is possible the court will do that. It is unusual for your wife to get half your salary. In setting child support, this is a deductible item in all states, that should have been taken into consideration. If not, you can request a modification. see links below
