How much is child support if you make $100k a year?
 

I'm just curious.

Depends on the Judge and what state you live in, but plan on $2,200 a month.

just do like my girlfriends ex.. he don't work just so he don't have to pay.

A friend of mine is going trhough all this child support stuff here in aus, he earns over 150k per year and they are trying to get half.

Atleast 3 k

thats crazy, shit I better start being nicer to my ex.

heh, look at all the gfy lawyers in action

do a google search for child support guidelines in your state, and consult a real lawyer. The judge has guidelines to follow but he can raise or lower the amount.

too fucking much... most parents take the money and blow it. The smart ones start up a savings fund or something for the kid and put most of the money in there for the child.

Its roughly 20% of your income.

I have a buddy going through it right now. He wishes he could make sure the money is actually going towards the child. Like require the women to itemize the spending of the child support so that at any time the list could be brought up in court to make sure she isn't spending it on "other"

Just did that and the calculator states the minimum is $1700 and can go as high as $2200 a month.

That is how it should be, no matter who is paying the money a certain % shoudl could into an accoutn for the child that the mother/father cannot touch. Too many times the mother/father takes that money and just blows it on shit.

Agreed....

I would start being nice =]

Just take what you're paying now and multiply it by 7.

I hate sending money, Ill buy my daughter anything and everything she needs, but I know how bad my ex is with money, she always needs it for herself and never my daughter.

thankgod we will never go throught that court crap, maybe one day when she gets really pissed at me.

a lot....

30% of the after tax here. cool thing is they cap it at $2100. All of you guys whining try to really raise a kid on $2100/month.

about 10k/month

Can I file for parental support from my kid if that's the case? :winkwink:

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

do you mean if you make a 100 thousand or a 100Kids lol

most families don't make that here in a month with two kids. You give a broke mom 2100/month here and they feel fucking rich.

In Quebec, the parent who will have full custody will have to do a detailed calculation of the monthly costs. (yearly / rent, utilities, clothing, school, sports, dental/medical expenses, any future big expenses) Then divide that by 12 and figure about half is up to you to pay, approximately.

Most states don't have a flat % of your income for child support.

They have a minimum and a max and you fall somewhere on the scale based on your income.

It doesn't matter if you make 150K or 100 Million you'll be paying the same amount.

Now alimony is a different thang !

I find it sad that my exgirlfriend living with another guy, they have another kid and my daughter, whom I wish to have full time, but we never did go to court for to fight over.. of coarse I will lose being a guy.

but I have to pay half the rent of this family cause the bitch takes my daughter away from me and gets with some other guy and has another kid.

how about I take my daughter and she pays half my stuff.

I'll pay for everything my daughter needs but these laws are a little overboard I think.. why is it that if i make 100k a year I should pay 2100 a month, I can garuntee that less than 20% of that would get spent on my daughter.

new profession for girls, find rich guys .. sleep with them.. have their kid, the more the better... and take 20% of their income.. get enough suckers youll have enough money to hire a nanny, buy yourself a huge home etc.

That's the calculation if you figure there's only one child and the ex isn't with someone else.

Why don't you just do 'garde partagé' - one week with her, one week with you - any and all costs for the child (school, clothing, dental/medical...) you agree to split amicably? If she has another child and you have another child, and you aren't making 'alot' of money - you can very well go to court to plead your case.

What? A lot of families barely make that with multiple children. Yes, it would be a different lifestyle, but definitely doable. Tons of people do it.

I was talking to my dad the other day about one of his tenants. Two small kids, mom works part time and dad works full, they make around $2400 a month after tax.

Get a fucking grip.
If your only income as a single mother is child support then you're a fucking leech. Get a fucking job.

Dads don't pay child support so that the mother can sit at home and eat bon-bons all day. They're paying for THEIR SHARE of what it costs to support the child.
They're not supposed to be paying your rent and your car payment and all of that shit....the money is for their share of what it costs to feed, clothe, and shelter the child.

In my state there's a chart they use. They total your income and her income and based on that amount the chart says "X" amount is for child support. (There are different numbers for people with more than one child)
If you make 50% of the total combined income, then you pay half of that amount. If you make 60% of the total then that's what you pay and so on.

The judge can't make you pay more because he doesn't like you or because your wife says you beat her or any shit like that. It's a pretty set in stone number. (Thank God)

This is the chart for my state if you make 10K per month.
This assumes of course that you make 10K per month and she makes nothing, then your total obligation for 1 child would be $1088.
If you had 6 or more children your obligation would be $2538

If you made 10K a month and she made 2K a month your payment would actually go down a little bit.

Alimony is totally at a judges' discretion, but child support is a pretty standard amount. (At least in the states I've lived in)

It's quite a bit more than hookers or condoms.

I know that's in bad taste but I have wasted enough money on alimony to voice an opinion.

do the right thing and give the kids what they need!

what the fuck 3000$ a month? thats crazy!

Just make sure you always send child support through the court system path - dont send it directly to the other party - found out the hard way - when I showed up in court with 15 years worth of cancelled checks that had written on them "child support" and her signature on the back - had to pay it again - New York isnt real friendly about that stuff

Now that's just fucked.

why not get exclusive custody of the child and make HER PAY YOU

get full custody and tell the mom to FO :thumbsup

bout 15-25%

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.
