How do they calculate how much child support a child gets a month?

It is calculated based on the needs of the child, the custodial parent's ability to provide for the child, income of both parents, custody agreements and other factors (such as which parent will be paying to maintain health insurance on the child). If you look online, you should be able to find a calculator for your state of residence that will give you a ballpark figure. All states have a formula established or court rules that determine the amount of child support to be paid.

If my husband is on disability and only gets 1050 a month and that is only income in our household can child support take all of it except 400 of it every month for his two children?
That sounds too high - child support for two is around 25% of net income. Of course, there will be additional amount withheld for past-due support.

It depends on the state you live in and the age of the child.

That should have no effect.
