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 is almost anything, including overtime, unemployment benefits and workers compensation, but not welfare payments or SSI.

If you send your child to the father for a year should you be required to send him the child support money back?

Yes, its child support. If the money is not used to support the child then its being misused. Alimony would be to support you. If the father is looking after the child, then he should not be paying child support to the mother - she doesn't have the cost of looking after the child at that time. In fact, the mother may well be in a position to send chilod support to the father - it goes both ways and she is responsible for the child just as much as the father is.

You will be expected to pay however much you can afford and the amount you can afford will be determined by the judge. But, does your lack of funds really decrease the amount of money it will take to raise your child? Regardless of how much money you have it will cost the same amount to feed and clothe the child. So, you might want to have another look at your budget and your conscience before trying to get out of child support.
