Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

My wife and I are about to get a divorce. We have 3 children. Although, I am almost certain that we can agree on custody issues, I am not certain on how much money I will have to pay for child support. I am more than willing to pay what is necessary to keep my children in their life-style as is now. I make 100,000 per year ($6,000/month take home) my wife makes 37,000($2600/month take home). The assumption is that the children stay with their mother with custodial rights with myself part-time. We have some debt with credit cards, home, cars, etc.--the usual family debts.

Again, if given the above scenario, what percentage can I expect be taken out of my monthly pay for child support/alimony?
