Depends on where you live, how much you make and can also depend on how much custody you have of the kids. Child support is usually a percentage of net income (e.g., in Illinois, 20% for one child, 25% for two children).

In general, child support is a percentage of net income. In Illinois, for example, it's 20% of net income for one child, 25% for two, etc. Income includes almost everything, including overtime, unemployment benefits and workers compensation, but not welfare payments or SSI.

Does child support have to be paid monthly or can it be paid every other month 3 month...?

Child support is paid monthly, however some states allow alternative payment arrangements to be made if there are extraordinary circumstances. For example, if the non-custodial parent is only paid every three months, he or she might be able to set up an arrangement to only pay child support every three months.


You pay 650 per month in child support But now you have the kids about 15 days per month instead of 4 can you get the child support lowered How long must you wait to do It if you can?

If your case is handled by a state child support agency, request a review and modification. Normally, cases may be reviewed for modification or adjustment of the child support order every three years or upon a substantial change in circumstances. If your case is not handled by the child support agency, then talk with a private attorney. Each state has published "child support guidelines" which are used to calculate the amount of child support due based on parental income, custody and visitation and the best interests of the child. Normally, they are published on the state's child support website. You can look at the guidelines and see how they might affect your circumstances.

In the state of Utah is it possible to get childsupport waived?

Utah laws as follows -Utah law provides Child Support Guidelines used by the courts to calculate a parent's child support obligation. The guidelines have three components:Base child supportMedical careChild-care expensesA table determines the combined support obligation for the children, which is shared between the parents according to their incomes. The non-custodial parent pays child support to the custodial parent. In addition, the guidelines require parents to provide medical insurance coverage for their minor children, if it is available, sharing the costs of the children's portion of the premium, in addition to sharing any non-insured medical expenses (including deductibles and co-payments).Finally, the courts require the parents to share work-related child-care expenses. Child support continues until the child is 18 and has completed high school.Upon petition by either parent, the courts may increase or decrease the child support obligation, if there have been significant changes in income or in other circumstances since the divorce decree was entered.Utah courts generally set child support according to the guidelines although, in unusual circumstances, they may order a different amount. The parties can agree upon child support amounts that meet the Child Support Guidelines, but the courts must approve their agreement before it becomes an enforceable order of support. Courts may enter an order requiring a non-custodial parent's employer to withhold the child support amount from the parent's earnings, unless the parties agree to another method of payment.


Do you have to pay Child Support if you have 4 kids and one of the kids is with the non custodial parent?

You have to pay child support for any of your children that does not live with you. So if you have 3 kids that live with you and one kid that lives with your ex you would be responsible for paying child support for the one child that lives with your ex. However, you only have to pay, legally, when a court has ordered you to. If your ex is paying child support for the three kids that live with you a court could order a reduction in child support that he/she has to pay to you instead of you having to pay child support to him/her.

My ex girlfriend is married and has 1 yr old and is pregnant with another child both by her husband will that increase the amount of child support I pay her for the 5 yr old I have have with her?

It should not lead to an increase in child support. It may lead to a decrease. The cost of supporting three children is significantly less, per child, than the cost of one child. There are many savings that are achieved by sharing. A simple example. To take the child on vacation by car costs $x for the travel and $y for the accommodation. But if you take 3 children, the transport costs are less (per child) and the accommodation costs are less (per child). Also, with three children to support, the family living standard will be slightly lower than the standard they could achieve with one child. So costs per child drop. It is unlikely that a court would force you to pay as if your child was the only child.

How does joint custody affect child support in wi?

For joint custody, child support in WI is calculated as follows: Each parent's gross monthly income is multiplied by the appropriate percentage (17% for one child, 25% for two children, 29% for three children and upwards). Each amount is then multiplied by 150% to account for household maintenance expenditures duplicated by both parents such as a bedroom, clothes, and personal items. Then each amount is multiplied by the proportion of the time that the child spends with the other parent to determine each parent's child support obligation (If placement is equal, each side is multiplied by 50%. If placement is 60% with the mother and 40% with the father, then multiply the father's amount by 60% and the mother's by 40%). Offset the resulting amounts against each other. The parent with a greater child support obligation is the person with the support obligation. Refer to Wisconsin DCF 150.04 for more information as it can be more complicated than this with various offsets and provisions for high income parents vs. low income parents.
