Wyoming DWCP 9. Confidential Statement of Parties for Child Support Order

In flat-rate states, even in a 50/50 child custody arrangement, one parent is designated the residential or primary custodial parent for child support purposes and the other parent is paying a percentage of their income in accordance with the law regardless.

Child maintenance payments It all depends on the child maintenance rate being paid and the number of shared care nights there are. If the day-to-day care of a child is shared equally between the paying parent and the receiving parent the paying parent will not have to pay any child maintenance for that child.

Child support is a percentage (roughly 20% for 1 child, and an additional 10% for each additional child) of the combined gross income of the parents, which is then split between both parents, depending on other factors.

The guideline states that the paying spouse's support be presumptively 40% of his or her net monthly income, reduced by one-half of the receiving spouse's net monthly income. If child support is an issue, spousal support is calculated after child support is calculated.

The flat percentage of the non-custodial parent's income that must be dedicated to child support is 25% percent for one child. The non-custodial parent will pay $625 a month.

According to the guidelines, for two kids, you must pay between 20% to 36.8% of your net income, plus an additional percentage of any income above a certain baseline amount. The baseline for our example net income of $2,500) is $2,083. The percentage of child support due on $2,083 is 35%.

CHILD SUPPORT BASED ON GROSS INCOME CSA advises parties that this is what the children would be entitled to if the two parents were still together. But they would only be entitled to a net amount if the two parents were still together.

Just in case you didn't believe it was complicated, here is the formula California uses to calculate child support: CS = K (HN - (H%) (TN)). Here's what the letters mean: CS is the child support amount.
