FAQ
Even with 50/50 shared custody, the economically stronger parent will often be ordered to pay child support to the economically weaker parent. Unfortunately, no automatic formula can consider all of the relevant facts. The schedule only works fairly when honest and accurate information is provided.
$1,000 is the lowest combined income on the schedule. If the parents' combined income is lower than this amount, then a court will look at each household's resources and living expenses to come up with a fair payment. The minimum amount of support is $50 per month.
Washington State uses a child support formula to determine the base monthly child support amount. The factors include the number of children, their ages, and the incomes of the parents. Depending on the variables plugged into the formula, the base child support payment will be anywhere from $200 up to $3,500 per month.
The court figures out each parent's income based on the information in your worksheets. It adds together the parents' incomes. Then it finds the support amount in the Schedule that applies to the number and ages of your children. This is the ?basic support obligation.?
Washington has removed the age brackets and child support is now the same amount (for the basic support) regardless of the child's age. Now, parents with children younger than twelve years old, will be able to receive more support than before even if their divorce case was finalized before January 1, 2019.
