40% of the high earner's net monthly income minus 50% of the low earner's net monthly income. For instance, if Spouse A earns $5,000 per month and Spouse B earns $2,500 per month, temporary spousal support might be calculated as follows: 40% of $5,000 = $2,000. 50% of $2,500 = $1,250.
Nope. Child support, in general, is based on the biological father and mother's incomes, expenses, medical and educational for THEIR child. Very rarely does additional children outside of that tight circle factor in. The father and mother who produced their child have equal responsibility.
Connecticut follows the “Income Shares Model” which means that courts will estimate the amount parents would spend on children when both parents and children live together in one household (as if the family were still intact) and then divide this amount between the parents based on their incomes.
Child Support With Multiple Mothers It now follows an 'income shares' model that considers each parent's income when deciding the total amount of child support. This is instead of the court ordering one parent to provide child support to the other on a mere percentage basis.
If your ex wife has another child, your CS does not change due to that. If your ex-husband has another child, and that child becomes a support claim, then your support will decrease as his payments increase but you have to share with the 2nd child parent.
Can My Child Support be Reduced if I Have More Kids in the Future? The short answer to this question is no. In the State of California, if a parent who pays child support has other children with another person, they cannot ask the court to reduce previously ordered child support to support his new children.
A new child will not reduce future support unless you are under court order to support the new child, and actually paying. Even then there are no guarantees and you will get little sympathy given your history, plus judges frown on people who are behind on support fathering more children.
