Child support amount guidelines are established by laws of the state in which the support is ordered. Please consult this site for information about child support for individual states. (http://www.child-support-collections.com)
All states use a child support income guideline worksheet. It totals up the income of each parent, the costs of the non-custodial parent to pay for child care, health, vision, dental insurance, etc. The income is then divided into the total monthly costs which gives you a percentage, i.e. my child support guideline calculations show that I am responsible for 27% of my kids expenses, his father is responsible for 73% of his expenses. Then there is a chart that estimates the monthly costs of raising a child and your child support is calculated on the percentage you are responsible for.
