It goes by both your incomes..they add them together, determine which percentage you each earn of total income, then they look on their state chart and you are responsible for paying whatever percentage your part of the toital income was.

I've supported a family of six on $1200 a month. None of it was child support, and both my husband and I had custody of our respective children from previous partners. It's damn fucking hard, but we didn't starve. Of course I was so stressed out that I had to be neurologically checked out for MS symptoms, but, hey, we all survived.

Child support is always a touchy issue, and there should be a way to guarantee the money goes to support the child, and what is not necessary goes into savings for anything major that comes up, or for college or whatnot. But there's not. Good parents pay support, even when they can't guarantee where it goes. If you see the child is being neglected, then report it to CDS and try for custody, as many trimes as it takes. The most important thing here is not the money, or your pride, it's whether that child knows they can count on you to provide everything they need. If you can look your child in the face and say that you always paid support and they know you were there for them in other ways, then consider it a success.

Personally, I get $75 a week for my two girls, now that my husband and I are not together. He makes more then we said he did, and so do I, now. Even so, his court ordered amount was $400 or so, but I told the court he has a special needs child in his custody, so I only want $300/mo because it is enough to cover his share of their costs at this time. They are little, though-when they start school, and start dance and all that shit, it will either go up, or we will just split the costs of anything additional. To me, having a good relationship with their father is worth me having to work a few extra hours a week. I want to be able to sit next to him at their graduation with no tension to mar their day. I want to be able to plan their birthday parties together, and have family days where they have both mom and dad, and if it meant I'd have to support them myself, I'd do it. It would suck, and I'd think he's irresponsible, but I'd do it.
