Re: Child Support
The amount of support to which a child is entitled is based upon the combined income of the parents, before taxes. The court uses a table to determine the base amount. If there are child care expenses or extraordinary medical expenses, they are added to the base amount. That amount is then split based upon the respective incomes of the parents.
