In all 50 states there is a worksheet and formula the judge MUST use in order to calculate child support. Below I have included the link to your states child support calculator. Remember this is ONLY an estimate. Additionally if one or both of the parents are not working or are underemployed the judge is allowed to "impute" their income at their discretion. (for example: I have a BA and a BS and several computer certifications. I am not working (or if I had a job at McDonalds). I am capable of earning between 60 and 150k a year. The judge can take the difference of the lowest of my potential wages (60k) and my tax returns for several years prior and estimate that average as my actual income. The child support is then calculated with my income at that amount.) Just because the judge has this discretion does not always mean he will use it (especially in this economy).

If the father of a child gets married and owes back child support can the spouse be obligated to pay his back child support in CA?
An unmarried father cannot "choose" to not pay child support. The laws in every state require that a father pay for the support of his child. The mother must bring an action to the appropriate court so that a child support order can be established. Visitation rights are separate and a father can have visitation rights established by the court. Visitation rights are not dependent on paying child support.
What is the maximum percentage of salary that can be garnished for child support on 3 children in CA?
Child support is not like any other judgment. In an ordinary judgment where your check is being garnished an agency is limited to 25% of your gross wages. With child support the amount that can be collected from your check is the amount the court has determined to be your monthly child support. Child support is not like any other judgment.
