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.?
How do you adjust child support in Washington State? If you have an administrative child support order, contact your support enforcement officer. If you have a court-issued support order, complete the forms available on Washington's Court Forms website under Family Law > Child Support > Adjust Child Support Order.
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.
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.
The minimum amount of support is $50 per month. The maximum is 45% of a parent's net income, unless there is some good reason ? such as substantial wealth ? for that percentage to increase.
