[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$800/month...what ballpark income would a guy have for that to be the child support. It doesn't sound like it would cover half of childcare/food/clothes/activities/other costs for even a little kid. [/quote] Child support is based on income of the parents and each parent's portion isn't necessarily HALF. It depends on the breakdown of income. If he makes 55% of their combined income, then he is responsible for 55% of the cost of care. Likewise if he is making only 20%. $800 a month is significant, when we are considering that it is ONE parent's financial contribution. [/quote]
